how did your op go>?

Yes I heard this morning that England is only bit of GB not getting free presecriptions, is it Scotland who have them now, or Wales, somewhere any way. Ours have gone up ;to £7.40.

like the piccie you look very effficient. x

Hi Alison, yep blood boiling time it is, so angry. We always seem to miss out.

I haven't managed to catch this yet but will have a look. I can't understand when we are all part of the UK why Scotland have different rules to England and Wales on drug therapy and Wales have different rules to England and Scotland on prescriptions. It doesn't make any sense and makes for a bundle load of confusion all round!

That's why Scotland and Wales got their 'Assembly's - so they could make sensible laws and not have to follow the daft things London does!

Yeah, have you thought who is paying for them to have free prescriptions? Would it be us by any chance?
