Hi There,

When we went private with Rory we have to pay for the meds prescribed there, but then when you need more you can take them to your gp and get them prescribed on the nhs. When going private the children nhs rule doesnt seem to apply and you do have to pay. but once you have them you can get your gp to do the repeat prescription.

Hope this helps!

Hi Lisa,
We took the script to our GP and got him to put it on prescription, also once we saw Dr shah privately and he said there was a problem, my GP asked our local consultant to write a referal to DR Shah and we are now being seen on NHS.

Hi ladies

Thanks for the info, this helps with my deliberations as to whether to seek a second opinion privately.

Thanks!
