Bertie was talking about expanding the scheme today so you go and get an article from 2002 to say he's cutting back? :rolleyes:

But it is bad that so many people lost their cards. I've a good job and it is still a strain to pay to go to doctor. I really don't know how othters manage.

They did give it free to everybody over 70 so that placed a burden on the system. Hopefully they will make it right now.
