can any of you lovely ladies help with a care commision ruling

[frasersmummy]

My ds 3 has a cold which I have been treating with nurofen, calppol and benilyn

I ran out of benilyn on Saturday so went to the pharmacist who says they cant issue a cought bottle on prescription we must pay for it.. fine ok

the nursery are refusing to administer it because it doesnt have a a prescriptiopn label on it

I know you are not nursery staff but they say its a care commission ruling.. and I was thinking someone on here might be able to confirm if this is the case and if there is any way around what seems like a adft rule to me

Point out that in EYFS (which I guess is scotland too) it says that any medication prescribed by a doctor, nurse or pharmacist can be administered

Mind you they may say they want a prescrition label on it (& I don't know if the pharmacist can do that

I think it's daft for the nursery to refuse to dispense calpol etc. but I don't think it's that rare, sadly. I don't know what the system is in Scotland so can't help you with that, but I'd get onto the Care Commission to check it out if I were you.

Pharmacist sounds barking - if you've got a scrip, why the hell won't they dispense it? Are they just ripping you off? Suggest you complain to your local health board.

thanks for that katy .. I will try that line on them tomorrow

I think I will complain re the pharmacist edam

I shall be militant fm tomorrow
