Thank you Dave.
Yes the good old post code lottery, I'm surprised it's still going on. I've been here 11 years now and it was bad enough before I left, but I'm finding we are often telling people in the UK that they have to get aggressive and push in some areas.
A couple of questions cause I've lost touch with it all over there.
#1 You mention your dermatology is with BUPA so am I right that you or your employer has paid for the cover, or does it mean that as there is not an NHS one you have the right to use the BUPA one and it's paid for by the government?
#2 The £8 prescription charge is free for low incomes and pensioners yes? And am I right you can buy a yearly prescription, if so do you know how much it is?
