Ah. My health authority would say, has the hospital consultant authorised
it? If so, please feel free to prescribe it.
Then they'd retrospectively blacklist it (not the HA alone, I know)
12 months later we'd get a bill for it,.
We'd contact them, saying 'yes but you said' & they'd apologise.
Next month, another bill.
We wouldn't pay in this hypothetical situation, of course.
Not that we tried it with the 'Chinese Herbs' for eczema at all...
