Yup but the reason the bill is so heavy for those drugs is the pharma companies are charging the NHS the 30p or 40p. They are ripping the **** out of it.Of course...
However , free prescriptions for drugs like paracetamol and ibroprofen , that you can get for about 30p on average ,is a joke
Even if you save a million a year by not prescribing them , that's a good few staff at ground level
That's not to say I don't agree that doctors shouldn't be prescribing them except in exceptional cases.
