    A ****ing brain? Who produces the tablets and gets the profits?

    Honestly, no wonder Blighty is up the creek.

    The drugs cost 30p, that leaves £7.70 odd for the NHS right?

    I don't think you understand, I'll try to put it in simpler terms:
    The NHS gets £8 off the government for each free prescription transaction, right?
    If the drugs prescribed cost less than £8 then the remainder goes into the NHS coffers, right?

    OK, the NHS doesn't get the free-prescription money off the government, it comes out of its own funds, I see.

    That's because they are forced to pay more than 30p?
    Any manager in any other business would switch supplier.

    In the chemist where I would get a prescription the paracetamol is there on the shelf for 30p, are we being charged more than that because we get a label with our name on stuck on the box? Where is the additional charge coming from?

    If that was the case why have the papers been urging people to buy their own paracetamol from the chemist to save the NHS money as it costs them too much? If the NHS were making money then the papers would be telling people to pretend they had a sore head and ask their doctor for prescription paracetamol all the time. Can we please now stop this charade and move on?

    I was just trying to establish the facts.
    One other thing: does the NHS receive from the government a fixed sum to cover prescriptions or a sum based on the number of prescriptions?

    You must be a keen fan to know that Hitchin Town have been dumped out of all the cups now after defeats to Hemel Hempstead Town and Royston Town.
