Hello bach, one prescription, please.

Good news ! Prescriptions in Wales are free ! So instead of having to pay £6.50 or whatever for my asprins, next time I'm in Newport I can go to the pharmacy in Tescos and get them for free !

From the BBC Wales news;
Free prescriptions for everyone are to be introduced in Wales from 1 April following a vote in the Welsh assembly.

AMs voted by 39 to none to abolish the charges. Labour and Plaid Cymru supported the move while Conservatives and Liberal Democrats abstained.

Is it true ? Its not April fools day already ?
