Highlights from this day
- belfast_bac — i paid $185 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them, thats one data point 22:52
- assay_not_purity — northern ireland sits under different arrangements from great britain and those have changed more than once, so do not treat anything i say about it as current 22:54
- assay_not_purity — there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now 22:58
- nhs_pathway_nell — unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved 23:21

northern ireland sits under different arrangements from great britain and those have changed more than once, so do not treat anything i say about it as current
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
there was a two year limit in the nhs guidance i read. what happened at the end of it was not clear to me then and may be clearer now
northern ireland has two sets of rules doesnt it, how does that work in practice
member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago
*Janoshik not the other one
ask your gp
off label is different
does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
coming back to this gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
ring more pharmacies
mine was 18 months
that was last year
coming back after 16 months, is the nhs picture any better
unlicensed in mhra terms means there is no uk marketing authorisation for that product. it is not the same as illegal and it is not the same as approved
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax, thats just me
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
quick one everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it
ireland is separate
private clinic quoted me £185 a month, is that about right or am i being had
is the picture in ireland completely separate on reimbursement
member reported only
ok so i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
anyone moved from a private clinic to nhs or the other way round
update from 9 months ago: my clinic price went up by €94 and the supply steadied in the same month, i have it written down somewhere
supply was upstream
