At least we now have people talking about the NHS and rethinking how best to use the services we have. Paracetamol is the perfect example.£10 cost if we get it on prescription. 20p from the supermarket

Not disagreeing with this but I asked my GP because I had also been told this and he said it was just pennies.

I could be wrong, but I believe it is the admin costs of processing the prescription that costs. They take it as an average.

Would you like to share a glass of Lidl champers LEJC?

It's going down a treat with the A Finest food. I couldn't face cooking tonight so I'm just piling a load of 10p stuff in the oven:)

I'm guessing £20 worth of food for 50p

I'll make a salad and new potatoes and I'm sorted.

I haven't been this tired in a long while. Travelled to Leeds last night after work to help DS move. The flat has been left spotless. I'll let you know how much the landlord is retaining when we find out:o
Taps were shining, surfaces polished, fridge and freezer immaculate but having had 2 children going through uni in a variety of student lets and now DS living there full time, I know that they will try and hold something back

Hope you took moving out photos. If rented through agent then should get chance to attend the checkout.

A good place to be if you are charging for it, as it would then obviously be the one that pays the most

I think I will just be the facilitator..... and charge both of them!

THE NHS spent £87.6million last year on paracetamol tablets which can be bought 20 times cheaper in the supermarket. Doctors wrote 22.9million prescriptions for the painkiller at an average cost of £3.83. But a packet of 16 tablets from Asda costs 19p.28 Jul 2016

So why is the cost so much more, is it the admin, or do the NHS get charged more from the drug companies for providing them than Adsa do? IN which case, the buying power of the NHS needs to be looked at. I am sure I could pop to Adsa every day and buy a load and sell them to the NHS for only £2.83 a tub.

I would assume that it is both issues.... the procurement process for the NHS is in many ways not fit for purpose, and then there is the admin process charges which are :eek::eek::eek:

So the NHS should recruit us all, we can all but them for fillers, and give them to the NHS

Badda badda bing, savings for all.
