I wrote a bloody long letter to DoH pointing out wastages happening on a daily basis on FP10s. I got the stock reply of "It's up to Dr's to stop wastage and we have looked into altering exemptions but we believe yahda yahda yahda."

In other words, "If we make people pay for stuff we'll lose votes, regardless of whether the whole NHS goes tits up or not!"

Good here ain't it?
