Very true..... it is strange that no one who pays for their prescriptions choose to get paracetomol from their GP!

I know, that really grieves me. I feel like buying boxes of it and leaving it outside the docs, but I might get into trouble, You would think the pharmacist would comment, but I expect they cant. Perhaps the government should drop supplies off at docs to give out for free, dunno.

Dont know if it is different in other parts, but up here, it looks like you have to get free pescriptions to get this.
'If you are entitled to free prescriptions, you can access medicines for a range of common illnesses'

This makes no sense, if you work, they chances are you have to pay for your prescriptions. If you work, it is harder to find the time to go to the docs, so this could be useful, but you cant use it.

Edit: I might be reading that wrong, and everyone can get it.
But looking at the list, all the ailments they can deal with, you can buy over the counter stuff for.

It says on mine 'An NHS service provided free of charge for people who get free prescriptions and for no more than the cost of the prescription charge if you pay.'

Mostly I think with minor ailments, people go to the GP because they want the actual diagnosis. So by getting the pharmacist to diagnose, they can access either a prescription or a cheaper OTC version on the spot. The pharmacist would presumably nudge them towards an OTC remedy if it were cheaper.

I can see the sense in it - especially with rashes, which need the right diagnosis to establish the correct creams.
