You think £20 for a prescription is expensive???
I had a gentleman in today to pick up a prescription for himself and his wife. His wife's was a private prescription that costs around £20. He wasn't best pleased about this. He changed his mind somewhat when I took out his prescription and had a chat. His Rx was for Casodex 150mg tabs. These cost the NHS £240 per 28. He had two boxes - the cost of that on a private Rx would have been over £600 probably. His view on the £20 for his wife changed somewhat after that.
Another expensive script I've had this week was for 400 Prograf 1mg capsules. These cost the NHS £85 per 50. So not cheap. And to think some people who are well off moan about paying the £6.65 prescription charge.

Ahem. £6.65 is a lot of money when you're a student.
It may be a lot of money - but it may equally represent excellent value for that money.
There are prescription passports for people who may anticipate sufficient need that the outlay outweighs prescription charges.
One can either pay £6.65 per item NHS Tax or can elect to purchase a pre-payment certificate for £95.30 for the whole year, £34.65 for three months.
Avid technocrats utilising a calculator will swiftly work out that over a three month period, one can recoup the certificate costs afer only 5.2 prescription items, the annual certificate being more than balanced after 14.3 items.
Thereafter the patient is saving.
A little forward thinking coupled with perhaps a little intial sacrifice and one can build in a domestic fiscal efficiency which will allow the patient to return to their normal purchasing targets be they food/heat/light or additional cd/dvd, smokes, beverages, recreation or whatever.
A prepayment certificate is cheaper than a television licence, but guess which one people think is essential and which one they moan about.
a good tip for students is the HC5 form, which can save a fortune if the straits you are in are sufficiently dire. It's saved me a fair whack in dental costs and prescriptions since last January.
I think its disgusting the price of proscriptions now, when will it stop going up? i have asthma and i have to pay for my inhalers i think thats disgusting as its a life saving thing and you have to pay for it, but you get the PILL for FREE, whats going on with the nhs.
