the online clinics vary enormously in how much they check. one wanted a video call and photographs and one wanted almost nothing

Highlights from this day
- private_script_pri — the criteria included a bmi threshold plus comorbidities when i read them, and they have been revised since, so check rather than trust me 18:30
- private_script_pri — as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight 18:57
- nhs_pathway_nell — wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand 21:50
supply was upstream
snapshot not fact
that was 2024
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
is the irish price genuinely higher or is that a currency thing
prices have moved since
i was wrong in here about what unlicensed meant for about six months until somebody sorted me out, i have it written down somewhere
is vat charged on a private prescription in the uk
mine was 18 months
how many pharmacies do people ring before giving up for the day
ireland is separate

i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
scotland differs
that was last year
pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
has anyone been asked for id at a pharmacy counter for this
wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
