Explained in plain English
What is a prescription cap?
A prescription cap sets a maximum price for a specific item, in this case, pet medication. The government's proposal to cap charges at £21 means that no matter how expensive a particular pet prescription might be, you wouldn't pay more than that amount for it. This aims to make essential treatments more affordable.
