why does nobody talk about pricing
Trying to get a straight answer on this: why does nobody talk about pricing. Why the monthly pricing tracker works, and the rule that makes it work. Members post the pharmacy, the product, the month and the price they actually paid — not an advertised offer, not a first-month discount. No links of any kind are…
Same. My ICB threshold was different from the neighbouring one and nobody could tell me why.
Pharmacy pricing on a private prescription is set by the pharmacy. The spread between them in a given month is routinely substantial, which is why a tracker built from member reports is more useful than any headline.
Disagree. That is the pathway in one ICB and it does not generalise even to the next one over.

Correction: that threshold is your ICB’s, not a national one. They differ and they change by year.
What did the referral letter actually say?
BMI thresholds vary by ICB and by year
Small fix — that is the Scottish pathway. The post is asking about England and the answer is different.
the price difference between pharmacies this month is genuinely large
