For the £8.80 prescription charges?
Well done for offering your health care at an affordable price!!
A fortnight of antibiotics for £8.80 right?. Amazing!
Unlike the vet who charged me for a fortnight of antibiotics for ddog last night -
£80.00!!
Wish I like , not that I can afford any!
What's appreciated financially by you right now?

Have you ever had a fortnight antibiotics from your GP? The most I’ve ever got is 5 days.
I agree about vet charges though. Don’t know where they get their prices from. Throw some numbers in the air and see what lands!!

The vet is Australian, I figure he checks latest flight prices and charges that!!

I agree.
Having lived abroad paying $20-40 per item (with insurance!), £8.80 is a bargain. I'm, also, fully aware that the cost price of the drug is often much cheaper (per BNF) but I like to think the profit the NHS (hopefully) makes, is put back into its services.

Yup £8.80 if the drug cost 80p or £800 our NHS is brilliant, such a shame it's not respected and loved by more
