I wonder if, this time, the prescription was made up somewhere else?

Yes, l had to stand outside until one of the two customers in the shop came out!
It says on my label 'Assembled by Warrington PAS Hub' Art, which must be about 350 miles from here.

Re: Couple of questions re Repeat Prescriptions and Chemists

Last year my local Lloyds Pharmacy asked if I wanted to opt in to warehouse supply so I did and get most of my drugs in a plastic bag. However, 1 item is still supplied by the local pharmacy in a paper bag.

Art did you read my rambling post at No 38? I put some links up which explain it all. Not the best links, but there are more out there on t'internet if you're interested.


Basically you've been 'Hub and Spoked'...

(..... in other words it's all outsourced to robots who do it all)
