Yikes! I thought that prescription charges were wavered for contraception! I’m lucky that I still have 4 months left. Could you not call up your surgery and request it be sent to the pharmacy for your collection?
Oh! According to this http://www.boots.com/en/Pharmacy-Health/Health-pharmacy-services/Pharmacy-services-support/I-have-a-prescription/Prescriptions-Charges-and-exemptions/ I think that you should get them free 🙂
Next time be sure that you don’t have to pay £35!
It is free in England http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception-guide/pages/where-can-i-get-contraception.aspx
It is free in England? Most aren’t but the pill is.
Contraception (inc the pill) is 100% free on the NHS in England. Might be different if you have moved from Wales though…
I recently signed up to the doctors after being off work ill. The response from my doctors was that I need to be reassessed (due to signing up to the new GP as she wasn’t happy in just re-issuing the pill based on another doctors recommendations) and I should make another appointment. However working full time and commuting an hour each way means I’d have to have another day off work (which I just can’t afford to do!). However following this assessment I would still have to pay the £8 prescription charge as I’m originally a resident from Wales. Catch 22 all over again! So SuperDrug Pharmacy will be the way forward for me for the foreseeable future.
“Why do women continually have to fork out just because we are women?” first of all, what a crock; the pill is free in the whole of the UK. Condoms can even be free but in most cases they’re paid for so the real question should be “Why do men continually have to fork out just because we are men?” Of course, this wouldn’t fit in with the feminazi way of thinking and doesn’t even cross your mind. “The pill hasn’t given you freedom, liberation, control” it’s given you weight gain, bad skin, cancer, blood clots and still doesn’t work 100 percent of the time.
Why not?
You expect me to pay for it?
I am a man will you be paying for me to have a womb so were are equal?
I doubt it!
I think it’s ridiculous that the pill is free at all? Why should the NHS money; of which there isn’t enough to go around anyway, be spent on providing drugs which many would be able to afford (those who currently pay for there usual prescriptions) would 8£ twice a ear really cause you that much hardship….imagine what better uses that money could be put to, why should the NHS be responsible for your sexual health. People need to start taking responsibility for themselves and their own health needs before being a further drain on the NHS!
