Not quite free for most people, we have to pay the prescription charge of about £12

Most dispensed _items_ are free of charge (as in, the prescription charge is not paid - only around ~11% of items are paid). There isn't enough data to know how that breaks down to people though.
Not in Northern Ireland weirdly, they have free prescriptions there
