My experience is that it's down to the doctor. I've had 2 months complained and then had 3 months and then occassionally it reverts to 2 months.


Clearly for many conditions they should give out 6 month prescriptions but they must have some financial incentive to inconvenience patients, waste doctor and pharmacist time.


I'd suggest you complain to your GP practice and if you don't get satisfaction complain to [email protected]

With a lot of patients it's nothing to do with payment or sometimes wasting doctors time. OAPs don't pay and often don't like to waste doctors time so they become reliant on getting repeat prescriptions for their conditions with no reviews of their medication (6 months is a long time) unless they have people supporting them.


From my experience (my Mum and Dad and Mother and Father in law) I think it's good that docs are only giving out 2 months supply of a medication at a time.


Edited to say that my Mum-in-laws doctor was very good when I collected her prescription a few weeks ago. There was a note to say that they needed to see and review her medication and she agreed with this.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
