The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath on 2016-02-02.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the effect of changes to maintenance grants on low-income students’ ability to afford prescription charges.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe
An Equality Analysis of changes to the support package for full-time students in 2016/17 was published on the GOV.UK website on 3 December 2015. No specific assessment was made of prescription costs, but this reform provides more up-front support for living costs.
