Private prescriptions are primarily issued by private
doctors. NHS doctors can also issue them under certain circumstances; for
instance, when the medications have run out or when the treatment simply is not
available on the NHS. Whatever the situation, you have to pay for private prescriptions because treatments with doctors outside the NHS are always
chargeable. The charges you have to bear will be the medication cost, doctor's
fees and the delivery services provided by the pharmacy.
The advantage of choosing private medical care is that one
gets better treatment and faster services. Not that the NHS does not take care
of patients effectively, but then the cost factor of the treatment also becomes
a concern. The control and supervision of BUPA (British United Provident
Association) on private medical care helps citizens to obtain equal rights
irrespective of social or economic status.
There are many private hospitals and clinics in the United
Kingdom that offer quality treatment. Unlike the NHS, there are no waiting lists
in situations where going for an operation is necessary. If you have a health
insurance, it would be a good option to top-up your NHS prescription and there will be no worry about meeting the
expense of private prescription.
