In that case, is it OK for me to refuse to issue a private script in this situation (i.e. for non blacklisted drugs)? I really am not keen to start giving them out for some of the reasons already given: - The NHS loses out financially - I see it as part of the government masterplan to privatise the NHS - Why I should go to the trouble of checking which is cheaper or alternatively printing two versions of the script?
