test strips

The point of this is there seems to be great confusion as to what we are or are not entitled to. Two professionals who deal with diabetics plus a pharmacist seem to think exemption is available and suddenly one who doesn't.

The confusion is brought about by the inconsistent manner in which PCTs are permitted to interpret NICE guidelines as they see fit. A postcode lottery, and for every aspect of healthcare, not just testing consumables. Further complicated by practices and sometimes even individual GPs exercising greater autonomy. What a mess.
