Martin Lewis warns anyone paying for NHS prescriptions they could save over £100 a year

Martin Lewis has issued a warning to anyone who pays for their NHS prescriptions as they could be overpaying. It comes after research from MoneySavingExpert.com shows 1,064,992 people purchased at least 12 single prescriptions in the past year.
