Before using the web service, I could just phone my surgery for a

That guess might be true, but might not. The four National Health
Services across the four nations have different ways of handling these
things. Some still handle physical paper prescriptions.

Do you mean if you need a repeat prescription, you have to go to your
surgery to pick it up, as once was the case? Which of the four still need
that?

If only paper, a repeat would have to be posted to the chemist of your
choice. With more cost and delay.
