What a load of tosh, not true.
The prescription has to be Issued by a doctors practice registered in Wales and the patient has to be registered with that doctor and be a Welsh resident. No need to be a Welsh speaker or be born in Wales.
 
I never said anything about speaking welsh, I said that prescriptions in Wales are written on bilingual forms if you look on the back of a welsh prescription it is written in English and welsh.

You didn't make that clear did you, you said it had to be written in Welsh, my doctor writes in English. The back I agree is printed in both languages but so is everything in Wales
