HeadingNorth Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's a complete and utter joke. Just lie and tell them you are on benefits, if they ask for prove, say you will take it at a later date. There's a £1,000 fine for that nowadays.

taxman Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I was prescribed some anti-histamines a few weeks ago. Paid my £7.40 at the chemist only to see exactly the same tablets on sale in Sainsburys for 90p. Either the doctor or the pharmacist should have advised me that it was cheaper to buy it off the shelf. I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now.

Ting~Tong Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's a complete and utter joke. Just lie and tell them you are on benefits, if they ask for prove, say you will take it at a later date. Failing that, everyone is entitled to free prescriptions if they are issued in a hospital. So be a complete and utter arse about it, if you have a simple cold, ring 999 and get yourself down A&E. They should issue everyone free prescriptions, or charge everyone £1 nominal. Some things require a prescription to buy, but cost less privately (amoxacillin is a good example). It can actually be rational to import drugs. I never knew we was entitled to free prescriptions if they was issued at hospital, learn summat everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I never knew we was entitled to free prescriptions if they was issued at hospital We aren't. A prescription issued by a hospital is chargable at the same rate as one issued by a doctor. To be accurate, if a hospital decides to supply you with medicines from its own pharmacy there is never any charge. That's why hospitals are supposed to issue a prescription for anything that would normally have come from a doctor, and only supply themselves, drugs which for whatever reason don't come on a normal prescription.
