So all our local pharmacies that collect the scripts from the GP surgeries will now only do so once a week. And now they can only do so if they are "nominated" by the person requesting a repeat prescription. And that has to be done online! I called the pharmacy, and she told me that she collected the paper scripts today, and it's a HUGE pile that will take days to fulfil.

I have raised this both by email and snail mail with our local councillors, MP and Arsembly Member, but only received auto responses.

Boots no longer collect paper scripts. You have to or order on line .
