I understand that if the GP was seeing his patient under the terms of the NHS (i.e. NOT on his own time, as a private patient), then it would be illegal for him to issue a non-NHS prescription as he could be depriving/defrauding the NHS of £6.85 income; Wasn't there a case in the past where a pharmacist got told off for openly telling patients "you can buy this without prescription and it'll work out cheaper"?
