OK, so this takes us back to having a private dispensing area within the
chemist's shop where the pharmacist can ask the man getting his viagra
"are you taking anything else?" - surely much more user friendly than
having to keep complete dispensing records.

Yes, often is.
I like Stuart's idea of the receptionist checking with the patient if it
is ok to look in the records.
The receptionists are *bound* to keep confidentiality - are the shop
assistants?
The fewer people know a fact the less chance of more people finding out.

Do you really want me to rise to the bait here? ;-)
There is nothing *convenient* about ill health.
Whilst I would not go out of my way to make it difficult to see a
doctor, I very strongly believe it is up to the patient to find the
time, not up to the doctor to acquiesce to an open all hours policy.
