Highlights from this day
- slow.taper — everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it 19:11
- slow.taper — follow up 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 19:12
- tarpit_tam — as of when i last looked, nhs access ran through specialist weight management services and the criteria were tight, take that with a pinch of salt 19:16

right so vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
does anyone know whether the shortage list is public
how much do the online clinics actually check
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 pharmacy gap in my area lasted about six weeks when i went through it, and it was member reported as nationwide at the time

the tier 3 referral needed my gp to actually make it, and that turned out to be harder than meeting the criteria

pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country
update from 4 months ago: my clinic price went up by £55 and the supply steadied in the same month
ring more pharmacies
i would not repeat any of the nhs criteria as current fact, they were revised at least once since i last read them
ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect, happy to be corrected
just a letter

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
ok so what happens at the end of the two years on the nhs route
unrelated but the seizure letters members have had here have been letters and nothing else, but that is our sample rather than a guarantee
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
whats the position on driving, is there anything anyone had to declare
