[Discussion] can we stop arguing about MHRA until somebody posts a number

Discussionbranch of 14 comments

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: can we stop arguing about MHRA until somebody posts a number. Discharged at goal back to the GP, who would not continue it.

Same. My ICB threshold was different from the neighbouring one and nobody could tell me why.

Added a nation tag — the answers to this question differ across the four.

Disagree. That is the pathway in one ICB and it does not generalise even to the next one over.

Disagree.

ines_lindqvist is right that the two routes are separate. A private prescription does not move you up the list.

Careful, that pricing figure is a headline offer with conditions attached rather than the actual monthly cost.

no referral links, ever, and that rule is why the pricing threads work

Small fix — that is the Scottish pathway. The post is asking about England and the answer is different.

GP said no in the spring, specialist said yes eighteen months later. Same person, same numbers.

c/glp1uk rules
  1. No naming online pharmacies that prescribe without a consultation.
  2. Price posts need the date — UK private pricing moves monthly.
  3. NHS pathway questions: say which nation. England, Scotland, Wales and NI differ.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
