Is it true pharmacists can prescribe headlice treatment

...so you don't have to get it from the doctor or shell out £££ for it?
I asked at my local chemist today and she looked at me like I was slightly mad. I was sure I read it on here somewhere...

it's called 'Pharmacy First' in my area. You need to register via your GP.

In Scotland we have the Minor Ailments Service and you register direct with the chemist you wish to use. You are eligible if you do not need to pay for prescriptions.

this is the pharmacy first one
