coming back to this 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

Highlights from this day
- void_volume — coming back to this 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 15:42
- reship_rita — update on the earlier thing nobody here can tell you what your gp will do. the variation between practices is the whole story in england 16:12
- reship_rita — vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably… 16:26
- void_volume — cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision, for what its worth 16:27
- void_volume — 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 16:56
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
quick one i paid £185 a month at a private clinic in 2024 and the price went up twice while i was with them
i rang eleven pharmacies and the twelfth had it. that was one winter, and it is not a strategy
private clinic quoted me €94 a month, is that about right or am i being had

vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
an irish member told me their out of pocket cost was noticeably higher than the uk equivalent when they compared in 2024
cheapest legitimate route i found was a pharmacy led online service, and cheapest is only one axis of that decision, for what its worth
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
the honest position on uk policy is that it moved four times in the two years i have been paying attention
sorry to jump in driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it
member reported only
scotland ran a different process from england when i looked into it, and a member there reported a shorter wait
ask your gp
does the two year wait figure people quote come from anywhere real
