It's a matter of discretion.
However do you ever want to see another script from that doctor or patient?
Are you trying to build relationships or break them?
What's the company policy?
And if you decide not to charge do find out the reason for exemption so that you know what to tick on the back.
I wouldn't dream of charging the patient as long as a script had been promised by the GP.
