Problems accessing the website for the year's hrt cost.

[CherieBabySpliffUp]

Has anyone tried to access the government page to organise the yearly prescription certificate for HRT? I googled and went to the first site that came up (which said it was an NHS site) but got an "error 504 bad gateway" message. I also had that message come up when I clicked on a link from the BBC news site for a list of meds covered.
I'm guessing it could just be volume of traffic?

Try this link instead:

I’d say this absolutely is likely. They launch these things but then it’s overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people and they can’t cope with demand.

If you get HRT as well as other regular prescriptions, do you need two separate certificates or just the normal PPC? I’m a bit paranoid about buying the wrong one! I have two other regular medications.

@Pringleface I think you'd just need the normal PPC for both the HRT and your regular medications.

I work in a pharmacy and we have been told that they need to be on separate prescriptions or you will be charged.

It's working now. Just bought mine as by coincidence I was prescribed HRT yesterday!
