[QUOTE="Luciel, post: 2055280, member: 507100"] I'm kind of annoyed by how my local practice treats me. They'll fairly often withhold (or "reduce" as they put it) medications (typically test cassettes) and will allow me to run out until I book for an "annual" review. They will not fulfill any attempts to get the needed medical items until I attend, which causes problems when the earliest dates are weeks later. It's worth noting "annual" apparently happens every 3-9 months. These "reviews" as they do them are basically pointless, being nothing more than a list of pointless questions, usually being little more than "do you want to take part in this current scheme for taking these pointless medications we get paid to encourage you to take". In the past I was on holiday for a month. During that time they sent out one of these appointments (for the next week), and obviously not knowing about it and being on the other side of the planet I didn't attend. When I came back I found that every single prescription had been cancelled until I came to an appointment. This included Novorapid/Lantus too. The question is, are they allowed to do this? [/QUOTE]
