[QUOTE="elaine77, post: 717215, member: 59930"] No Tim, as I have already explained numerous times, I HAVE seen the mention of a medical exemption and I DID ask my DSN for a form and a signature and she TOLD me I didn't need it as the surgery have an information sharing policy with the pharmacy next door. I mentioned it to the pharmacy as well and THEY told me the same and said I just needed to tick the box as they had access to everything from the surgery. This is not a case of pleading ignorance, I specifically ASKED my DSN about the exemption cert and the form and was told I didn't need it due to the information sharing policy which I KNOW exists because they have a system in place for repeat prescriptions too. I had no reason whatsoever not to trust the nurse or any reason to start googling legal legislation! I trusted what she told me as they are supposed to be the experts! I knew very little about diabetic procedures as no one in my family had ever had diabetes so everything I needed to know I trusted my DSN to tell me. I had enuff to take in with being told I had an incurable lifelong degenerative disease, never mind worrying about bureaucratic form-filling on top of that. [/QUOTE]
