Medication price

[leedsjeff]

Hi does anyone know where I can get an UK Medication price list as im wanting to work out how much it has cost the NHS for the 12 tablets and large amounts of insulin per day I have been on for 20 years of been refused bypass not to mention the foot operations & aprox 10….. 2 week stays in hospital and special boots I have to wear, many visits to GP

I have had my bypass done now and am doing fine I just feel if it would have been done years ago I wouldn’t have un-reversible disabilities

hi, sorry I don't know really but my mum works in a chemist and they have order boks with drug costs for most things. perhaps your local pharmacist could find out for you?

Glad to hear you're doing well after your op Jeff. I would like to bet that your op was cheaper than all the meds and care you've needed over the last 20years thoughxxx

Hi Claire,my son has his boots altered and it costs a small fortune.Was ok when he was young but he is 30 now!Although he has a growth problem so only takes a size 13 in a boot(kids size)Imagine if he took a larger size how much that would cost.He only got them paid for while he was a certain age.After that we had to buy them and have them altered.He now buys them himself cos he wants fashionable styles.What problem does your daughter have ?She is so cute.

anything special needs related is a rediculous price isnt it
my wee girl was born prematurly and sufferred 2 brain hemmorages, spent a year in hospital. as a result she has diplegic cerebral palsy, autism, GORD, BPD ( lung disease ), PDA ( heart problem ) and moderate/severe learning disabilitys but shes a fighter

Sorry Jeff diversifying from your thread but just wanted to say to Claire " your wee girl is gorgoeus and she sure is a fighter to have come through all that in such a short time " x
