Transcript:

When the doctor sees you, he gives you a prescription. He writes what medication you need on it and you take it to a chemist’s shop. There’s one opposite the center. If it’s for a child under 16, you don’t have to pay. The same thing goes if you’re unemployed or retired, or if you’re pregnant. Just as well because it’s not cheap. You pay the same price for each item the doctor has prescribed. At the moment it’s something like £5 per item. So you pay for the medication but the consultation with the doctor doesn’t cost you anything. It’s completely free as long as you’re a resident here. You’re going to be here for three years, aren’t you? So there shouldn’t be any question of you paying anything to see the doctor. So that’s one less problem to worry about.

Option 2: "Unemployed people"

Explanation: The text states that if you are unemployed, you do not have to pay for medication. This aligns with the correct answer as it directly supports the idea that unemployed individuals receive free medication.

Option 1: "People over 17 years old"

Explanation: The text does not mention that people over 17 years old receive free medication. In fact, it specifies that free medication is available for children under 16, unemployed individuals, retirees, and pregnant women, which does not include all people over 17.

Option 3: "Non-UK residents"

Explanation: The text indicates that the consultation is free as long as you are a resident. Therefore, non-UK residents do not qualify for free medication, making this option incorrect.

Option 4: "People over 60 years old"

Explanation: The text does not mention free medication for people over 60 years old. It specifically lists children under 16, unemployed individuals, retirees, and pregnant women as the groups eligible for free medication.

Option 5: "Pregnant women"

Explanation: The text clearly states that pregnant women do not have to pay for medication, which confirms that this group receives free medication, making it a correct answer.
