The answer
I refer the member to the answer to question S2W-11146, answered on 25 October 2004. All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament's website, the search facility for which can be found at:

We do not know how many prescription items are not dispensed. If we did, we still would not know how many of those items would attract a charge because patients must endorse the back of the prescription form to make a declaration of exemption, or state that they have paid for their prescription. This is done when the prescription is presented for dispensing.
