[QUOTE="iHs, post: 782828, member: 8799"] That's all very well Tim but remember there is usually a queue of people waiting to be served in pharmacies and the serving assistants are usually in a hurry to serve and get rid of people so that the next person can be dealt with. Very often, people dont really get the chance to read what they are signing as there is nothing highlighted in bold to draw anyone's attention. Instead, the serving assistant if there is queue of people, will just askif someone is medically exempt want people to sign the back of the form quickly etc. Now that I have been able to read the above website and clicked on the links, many pharmacies who dispense prescriptions using EPS will have slipped up if they have not asked to SEE the proof of exemption first before dispensing and have just presumed instead. It also looks like those who are medically exempt with the exemption card number will probably need to visit their GP so that the card number can be entered on the prescription by EPS. [/QUOTE]
