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?

I think it tends to find it’s way into the very deep pockets of the pharmaceutical companies. Not sure, but I don’t think the NHS pop into boots and buy the 30p paracetamol off the shelf, they are punting the stuff stocked in the prescription room at the back, for which the NHS pays top dollar

"Claim Slab Of Cans Will 'Do The Whole Christmas' Found To Be Fraudulent"

A WATERFORD man's claim that a 24-pack of Budweiser cans priced at €25 would be sufficient to cover him for the entire Christmas period has been found to be either a gross miscalculation based on out-of-date data, or a blatant, outright lie.

I chucked the 'work' at age 56 in 2010; thirty eight years with the Government gave me a pretty good pension even if it was actuarially reduced because I left before age 60. I had also made a few bob from ante-post punting on the horses so after a few calculations and considerations (nae wife, nae kids, nae mortgage) I just thought ...... f**k it I'm outta here! Will only have to wait an extra eight months for the £160 or so a week from the state so not too bad.

Sorry all for interrupting your gassin'.

I clocked up 30 years in November. My mum was a civil servant too and has made the grave error of telling my brothers and sister about the terms of the pension scheme. They're very interested in the death in service element of it . I now bring my own food when I visit any of them for dinner...

My death in service benefits when employed by Royal Mail often had me planning a ‘John Stonehouse’.

My son lost out due to me not dying in harness

My big sis and I talk about the death in service with regards to her husband (he’s a lorry driver). We both agreed that if he dies at home, we’re taking him to his work and dreeping him over the steering wheel in his truck <laugh>
