    NHS prescription DOOM (or is it)

    Fentanyl no longer available. Good.
    Homeopathy no longer available. Good. Placebos should be free.

    I'm amazed at some of the tulip that was available.

    These should have never been on prescription anyway -
    • Travel Vaccines (vaccines administered exclusively for the purposes of travel)
    • Homeopathy
    • Glucosamine and Chondroitin
    • Omega-3 Fatty Acid Compounds
    • Herbal Treatments
    If you can afford to travel then you can afford to pay for your own vaccinations, homeopathy is "woo" and you can buy supplements/herbal remedies over the counter if you really want them.

    Removing these is simply cost saving and will lead a minority of people of all ages, particularly children from poor families, to suffer-
    • Needles for Pre-Filled and Reusable Insulin Pens
    • Liothyronine (including Armour Thyroid and liothyronine combination products)
    • Bath and shower preparations for dry and pruritic skin conditions
    • Silk Garments
