Highlights from this day
- step_one_sian — i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that 16:25
- step_one_sian — i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy 16:26
- step_one_sian — for the archive the private quotes i collected last spring ran from about 130 to about 250 a month depending on dose, and that will have moved since 16:28
- step_one_sian — i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out 16:41

*that should say weekly
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
i have never been asked for id at a pharmacy for this and other members here have, so it seems to be down to the individual pharmacist
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out

that was last year
unrelated but wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england
supply was upstream
the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
anyone had a parcel stopped by border force and what actually happened next
coming back after 18 months, is the nhs picture any better

i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
mine was 18 months
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it
member reported only
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
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
