Sharing this for anyone who's interested in getting involved after I spotted a form in the library. Couldn't see an existing thread so apologies if this is a duplication.

Southwark is proposing to stop NHS prescriptions for:

1. 'Self-care medication' (medication you can buy over the counter for eg headaches, hayfever). I find this one worrying as, while it sounds reasonable, given how the proposal is worded I think there's a risk of people feeling it means they can't consult the GP about these kinds of problems when some people may still need to do that.

2. Malaria prevention

3. Some travel vaccinations

Closing date for feedback is 20 August. Apparently it opened on 26 June.

  Stepped out of my garden on Underhill Road (neighbours have overgrown bushes so visibility is very poor) just as a cyclist on an electric bike - not a Lime bike but clearly his own bike - whizzed past on the pavement shouting expletives at a car that was not going fast enough over the speed bumps for the cyclist's liking. If I had been half a second earlier, with my dog, I or the dog would have been seriously injured as he was going full pelt. He had on the lycra and a helmet. No apology or even acknowledgment.

  Why not watch a video? I know it’s not the same but it saves such grotesque waste.

  I have ordered from them and they do free delivery within a certain radius. Have only had some of their vegetarian dishes which were all good including the onion bhajis that come with a very tasty spicy green sauce accompaniment. Also, they start service from 1230 pm if you want lunch.
