I've read somewhere about automatic prescriptions and people being reminded by phone. I think you have to sign up for that?

I used to phone the chemist and order it, but they've stopped doing that now as they are (constantly) short of staff. Which is one of the reasons why I was asking how long other chemists take to process prescriptions.
We all have to order through the GP now because Rowlands aren't coping. They seem to give a lousy service now.
There are other chemists around here, and I was wondering whether to change, but they are further away from the GP practice, which isn't good when the chemist staff have to pick up the prescriptions.
‘Patient Access’..... l have heard of it, Pesta but l don’t know if l am signed up to it?
I know the chemist can’t access my records at the doctors because on a rare occasion if there is a mistake or a query with my mediation, l have to sort it with the surgery. Then l have to report back to the chemist.
The chemist say, they only follow what the doctor has ordered and signed for every 56 days.
