My DM went to the chemist to ask for something off this and they told her it stopped some time ago. Is this right ?

Googling they are launching a new pharmacy first scheme in England before the end of the year but not yet. I think it’s a really good system and I’ve found the pharmacist really helpful generally. They are also quite good at getting you in to see a Gp if they think it’s warranted. No help to you and your mum though.
