kay1 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Just had medication delivered from Lloyds pharmacy and from October they are now making a charge of £60 for 12 months for a single delivery of medication or £90 for household per year. Just wondering if this is all pharmacies or just Lloyds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamezone07 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) eh, you do realise that for many disabled and sick people, delivery is their only option, if they do this, people will join the many online chemist services. https://www.chemistanddruggist.co.uk/news/lloydspharmacy-charge-new-patients-home-deliveries yes, they are Edited September 4, 2020 by gamezone07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLECKHECK Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I phoned Lloyds about something else and was told incidentally that there was going to be a £5 per delivery charge from October. In response to El Cid - I would LOVE to get more exercise and not only to get my medication; I am housebound as I expect to be the case for many others who have their regular medication delivered probably for the rest of their lives!

hauxwell Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I would change chemist if you can, but once one starts to charge then I think they will all start to do the same eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
