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.

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
