  1. Yet again my GP surgery has got my prescription wrong, only been with them for 4 months and all 3 repeat prescriptions have had either things missing off them or been sent electronically to the local pharmacy even though I have stated I need to pick it up so it can be sent to my ostomy goods provider! I even gave them the stamped addressed envelope to send the prescription and they lost that as well! This month they left off one item (my stoma pouches) their excuse was it wasnt on my repeat prescription list...I have only had this item every month for the past 6 years! Other times they have given me only 6 of one item when it should have been 30...6 boxes of 5 units! What can I do to try and stop this happening yet again?
  2. The story comes from B&W, which I think the link is not allowed, so instead linking to the Welfare News Service report of it, hope that's ok, this is an important story: https://www.facebook.com/WelfareNewsServiceUK
  3. Because the Great British Bake Off was successful, the BBC have since adapted the format for tailoring and gardening. Tonight it is being used again for pottery. What next ? Great British Home Garage Mechanic challenge ( where they are given various car problems to fix) Great British DIY/Home maker What is the next hobby to be adapted into a programme ? The people who came up with the format have made millions.
  4. When we first moved to the area we now live and registered with a GP Surgery, we were told that they offered a "service". Prescriptions could be fulfilled by their on site pharmacist. If you have a paper script to take to somewhere like Boots or independent pharmacy, you have to drop the script off then wait an hour for it to be ready. It is a 22 mile round trip and including the waiting time, the time you need to set aside (if you are just going for the drugs) is around 2 hours. So we decided to take up the offer of collecting from the surgery. Around 5 years ago, they put in place a procedure where you had to put in your repeat prescription, 7 days before you required them. Without fail, you would then turn up at the surgery only to find that the prescriptions were not read for collection - you could hang around for up to an hour before they got their act together. Or go away and come back later. The surgery is a 6 mile round trip. Over the last 18 months we are finding more and more that they are not only not ready, but their supplier is unable to provide one or more of the drugs that hubby takes. - so you are then given a paper script to take to Boots.. see palaver above ! IMHO this is not good practice, should they not tell us earlier that they are not going to be able to fulfil the whole prescription ? Who do I take this up with? because the surgery just seems to shrug this off. Do others have this issue with repeat prescriptions ?
  5. Hi, I'm appealing ESA and have had a letter saying the sick note is about to run out and need to send a new one before the 20th, but my doctor says they can't issue another till the old one runs out on the 20th, so it will be impossible to get it there on time, do they stop payment on the day they say, or will they give it a few days? Also the DWP have arranged to see me saying they need to check my benefit claims, but they never mentioned ESA, and when I asked what it was about they just said it's to check the information they have and maybe something else, if it was about my ESA appeal would they have to say, or could it be they are just checking the information they have. Thanks.
