I went into Boots with a private prescription with 3 items on it.
Pharmacist warned me I would have to pay full cost, before vanishing
around the back. Full cost was £5 for the lot.

The doctors don't always know either. A private doctor once suggested he
write to my GP and get my GP to issue the prescription, thus saving me
having to pay the full cost of the drugs. I couldn't be bothered with that,
and got him to write a private prescription. The cost was considerably less
than the NHS charge.
