I am interested in how many of you have managed to get their prescription through NHS and how many have to pay privately for their medication? Thankyou in advance...

If I ever manage to get a diagnosis I bloody hope I manage to get my prescription on the NHS after all the money I've paid in over the years to 'the system'!
Although I assume even getting it on the NHS in England means having to pay *something* for them? Or is it completely free?

No, it's not completely free in England unless you have some reason for qualifying for free prescriptions. A prescription is £7.80, I think.

You are correct, a NHS prescription is a standard price and some people qualify for free prescriptions. I went down the private route of getting a diagnosis and have been paying around £80 (all medications have various prices) a month for the medication as my GP not happy to prescribe.

If you live in Wales, prescriptions are free.

Free in Scotland as well ;D Although I've heard it said that the money for that has to come out of other NHS services, meaning we suffer in other areas.
I get my medication on the NHS at the moment, but both my diagnosis and my medication reviews are private.
