just a letter
is the pharmacy supply gap the manufacturer or the wholesalers
that was 2024
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
while im here wales was reported in here as slower to get started and steadier once you were in, and that was second hand
ireland is separate
anyone in scotland or wales finding it different from england
prices have moved since
a private prescription in the uk was dispensable at any pharmacy willing to take it, in my experience of it
off label and unlicensed get used interchangeably in here and they are different. off label is a licensed product used outside its licence
ring more pharmacies
ni has its own rules
gp said they cant prescribe it at all, is that national or a local budget thing
[edited]pharmacy has had nothing for three weeks, is that everywhere or just my bit of the country
when i checked last year my local specialist service was quoting eighteen months to two years, and that was for a first appointment
is vat charged on a private prescription in the uk
that was last year
