This morning I witnessed one of Accringtons many town centre low lifes come out of Lloyds chemists with 2 bags of what I assume were prescribed 'necessities' and walk to some other low life waiting at the corner of the market. The waiting low life handed over a sum of cash and the other one handed over his goods. 10.30am at one of the busiest points in the town centre  |
There's a lot to be said for overhauling the repeat prescription system, there are a lot of people ( those exempt from paying) send in a repeat prescription every month and tick every item on the list whether they need them or not, its ridiculous. I have a monthly repeat and before mine goes in I check to see what I actually need, why have a cupboard full of medicines you don't require. The thing is once they're issued they can't be sent back, a thing we have discussed on here before
