scotland differs
ireland runs its own reimbursement system and as best i understood it a year ago the picture there was less generous than people expect
is a private prescription transferable between pharmacies
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

the shortage was upstream of the pharmacies as far as anyone here could tell, and shouting at counter staff achieved nothing
how long is the nhs specialist weight management wait where people are, mine was quoted at two years
coming back to this when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
how much do the online clinics actually check
anyone in ireland willing to compare what theyre paying
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
member reported tier 3 waits in england were all over the place, from nine months to nearly three years, as of about a year ago
wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand, i have it written down somewhere
anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england
