Default Re: NHS prescriptions as Private

I dont see why the NHS doctor isnt allowed to prescribe private prescritions during an NHS counsultation, because end of the day this will be saving the NHS money that it will have to pay the pharmacy for dispensing the medicine, unless ofcourse the NHS plans to make money out of people who have to pay the3 prescrition charge put require a low cost POM medicine e.g. co-codamol 30/500 or amoxicillin 500mg. in which case its a disgrace that the NHS of UK has to stoop so low. I have particulary noticed the low quantity of medicines supplied for customers who are not exempt e.g. heart medication for patient who is under 55 so still needs to pay the Rx charge (7.10 per item), most such patients come with a motnhs supply prescribed.
