BBC Radio Scotland - Call Kaye, Graham Stewart sits in

Is panic buying at the pumps irresponsible? And should prescriptions still be free?

Graham Stewart sits in for Kaye Adams and whether panic buying fuel is irresponsible. And should prescriptions still be free for all in Scotland?

Is panic buying at the pumps irresponsible? Will you be taking the PM's advice and keeping your tank topped up?

Also, new figures show that the number of prescriptions dispensed has increased by 3 million since the introduction of free prescriptions in Scotland in April 2011, and the cost of this universal benefit has also risen by £21m.

Graham asks...with the health service in such bad shape financially, should prescriptions still be free for all of us? Or should those of us that can afford it, cough up?
