Oxygen supply

When I started getting oxygen delivered I was told by the rep nurse (and in the booklet) that if I was taking a holiday in the UK, all I had to do was ring up the supplier (in my case dolbyvivisol) and give them the holiday address and they would deliver my prescription there?. However it dos'nt apply to Scotland, the person who prescribes you Oxygen is the one who has to contact them, so I had to get my rep nurse to ring them up............... okay in England and Wales though?.

Am in Scotland at present.............. in a holiday cottage, chilling................lol!

I call my supplier, BOC, and they arrange it all with whoever the supplier is in the area I'm holidaying in.
