That would require the pharmacist to be the one doing the labelling and for the pharmacist to be labelling from the repeat screen.
Now the idea of a Lloyds pharmacist doing a MUR while the prescription was prepared and checking it at the end does not seem to be beyond imagination.
I am not aware of anything in the Lloyds proceedure manual that insists that scripts be labelled from the repeat sceen - or that the pharmacist does the labelling - but I might be mistaken.
