NHS safe in whose hands?

[cailin maith]

I know. Some GPs are ever-mindful that your prescription charges go to fund their cosy lifestyles.

My daughter needs a steroid inhaler for a mild asthma condition. She is assessed every 3 months. In that time she goes through 2 inhalers.

Can I persuade the GP to write a script for 2 inhalers and pay one lot of prescription charges? Oh no! Certainly not!

Socialist bastards

I get two inhalers on each prescription and Boots charge me for each one

I have complained about this for some time with my GP.
I am asthmatic, it is not going away but he wont write scripts to cover me from one check up to the next.

Hopefully I will benefit from Golden Clowns latest gift.

Jesus - thats really bad - mine are just on repeat, I get checked by the nurse every few months when I go for my pill....

You are correct. Wife informs me that they used to charge the same at our local clinic dispensary regardless of number of items but this changed some time ago. I'm just out of touch really

Don't know about the others, but Scotland funds ALL of its different policies from its own dosh: they use some of their own dosh for that, and still send most of their dosh to England.

I beg to differ. Scotland would, it has been calculated (Google it) be at least £10 billion in the red. And then the gas and oil will run out. Oh, 11.5% of those of working age are benefits tapeworms, too. It's all yours, Jock, enjoy your freedom!

The biggest mistake of my life was to use NHS.

I did Google it. I found this:

Scotching the myth

A series of myths about Scotland's financial position in the United Kingdom are exploded today in a special investigation by The Herald.

The research represents a vital contribution to a debate over whether Scotland should take on more tax-raising powers or become independent. Our findings come amid a growing clamour from English politicians and the London-based media to curb Scotland's £26bn spending grant from the Treasury.

But, as The Herald shows, much of this mischief is based not on facts but a series of myths, mistakes and misconceptions.

Our research scotches five key myths, concluding that Scotland does well in some ways, but does not get special treatment within the UK. Scotland, with pockets of deprivation, one-third of the UK's land-mass and far-flung communities, does indeed receive substantial state spending, but its average of £9631 public money per head is still less than London's at £9748 or Northern Ireland's £10,271.

I am ready for my freedom. Are you? If you live in London you shouldn't be: you will be worse off with your snouts in a smaller trough.
