    So what facts are we to believe now Pud. Your original fact that paracetamol cost us 21 million or your current fact that it cost 14 million or is it the 27 million mentioned at the bottom of your screenshot?

    Facts can be quite confusing it seems.

    It’s all there and all clear . 2.5m paracetamol prescriptions x the overall cost of 8.53 GBP

    Even if you take away the dispensary cost of 7m, 14 million is an overspend of 13m.

    13m (or 20m) wasted when school budgets have been slashed

    ASN kids not getting the correct support

    Sure that money could be better used.

    Or look at over cost of paracetamol scripts of 57m in 13/14 years

    But I’m sure you’ll disagree that the money is not being wasted.

    As previously stated, you seem a bit confused about your "facts". It says 14 million INCLUDING 7 million dispensery costs.

    So that will be a total of 14 million then eh.

    And yes, if that particular figure is indeed a fact then it's a shocking waste of money so it is.

    But what you gonne do eh?

    Government bodies and massive quangos waste money, it's there default setting.

    Still a drop in the ocean when you consider we will be paying Mauritius £18 billion to take some islands of our hands eh?

    2.5mx 8.53 is 21m

    The wording is misleading

    It’s an enormous waste of money

    Agree , not much you can do when NHS trusts refuse to reform

    The chagos islands is another level of a mess . I blame Gambol for going to their sister island

    Tbf I'm more concerned about the chemist's fleecing the NHS tbh.

    I mean wtf! Charging £8.53 to hand over a packet of paracetamol that they probably have on the shelves priced under £1.

    I'd call that extortion.

    Not compared to the 3rd Reich no.

    I can go where I like, there aren't people tagged by their religion, I enjoy consensual same sex relationships, without fear of being sent to a concentration camp.

    If I had no interest in politics, nothing would have changed dramatically.

    It has not gone unnoticed that most of those products are fattening Pudsey.

    You're obsessed and I fear for you.

    part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate.

    They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate.

    Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate.

    It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate.

    It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

    Has the killer been identified or is he allowed ‘privacy’ due to age ?

    Kipling lived up the road from me, when he was at school. The woman whose house it was treated him terribly.
