i moved from private to nhs and the handover was messy. one experience in one area, nothing more than that
driving never came up for me at all and i would ask a clinician rather than take my word on it

everything in this channel about pricing is a snapshot. read any figure here as the month somebody typed it
the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
a member in dublin said their pharmacy supply was steadier than mine in england, which surprised both of us
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, still working it out
ask your gp
vat was not charged on the private prescription i saw, but i am the wrong person to ask about tax
did anyone get through the nhs route and how long was it end to end
