We are all acutely aware of the fact that the NHS is In crisis. We won't have an NHS anymore if people don't stop abusing it.
I've found several Generic brands of medication that could save you money when you need them and also maybe save a trip to the GP or A&E

Asda specifically, have
Paracetamol 500mgs x16 for 19p
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Painkillers-paracetamol/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Ibuprofen 200mgs x 16 for 25p
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Painkillers-ibuprofen/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Asprin 300mgs x 16 for £28p
http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/anti-platelets-aspirin-low-dose-/pages/introduction.aspx

Tesco have
Cold & Flu max strength capsules X 16 for £1.50 - otherwise known as Beechams or Sudafed cold & flu tablets which cost £4.99 and have exactly the same ingredients.

http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Decongestant-drugs/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Lots of stores, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsburys, even home bargains and Wilko have these and other generic medicines side by side with the big brand name
Which costs up way more just because it's got a brand name...it's the same drug.

Hope this was helpful to some of you.
Remember to always read the label!!:wink:

Its not the patients bankrupting the NHS its the many levels of managers and contractors that pay themselves extortiante amounts for ghost contract.

I think as good an idea as this is by the OP, its just the tip of the iceberg in relation to the services of this country being bled dry by idiots. Until the whole system is re-styled, they will never fix any of the problems. Stop giving out jobseekers allowance to people who have been unemployed for more than 6 months. Give them milk and bread vouchers. You want fags and a flat screen TV? Get you rass out to work and earn it like every other tax paying person in the country does. I read the constant sob stories in the press of "but i only want to be treated as an equal" and "i have a right to do what i want with my benefit money" - no you bloody well dont. It isnt your money and you shouldnt have it. Get out and make something for yourself. Sorry for the rant, but it annoys me something chronic when i see these wasters wandering around town when im on my lunch break. I just despair for the next generation, as im 31 now and i see the idiots i went to school with have never grown up and done anything in the world, they have just copied their parents into a life of benefits and handouts. The first politician that promises to fix this problem will get my vote whether they are Tory, Labour, UKIP, or the Monster Raving Looney Party.

When is enough, enough?

​wow i will tell you when enough is enough when over a million people are not using food banks because of sanctions when low paid workers are payied a living wage when the mps do something about tax dodging companys and when the sick and disabled are not being hung out to dry but yeah i am envious of that £60 to £70 aweek they have to live off and by the way i will not be viewing your reply so dont bother

excellent post, one of my big gripes is that our government is paying 30 times the actual price to supply these cheap items on prescription. i go through lots of children's paracetamol and ibuprofen but buy them from home bargains for£1 a bottle. they would cost the nhs maybe 6 times that. wasted money.

30 times??? Sorry, but this is TOTAL HOGWASH.

Let's start off with some solid facts. According to the British National Formulary (aka BNF) which provides prices for virtually all NHS medication, the NHS current cost for 16 generic paracetamol tablets is £0.48 and £0.78 for 30 tablets.

It's fair to say supermarket prices may be a little cheaper, but they are often selling commonly used meds as loss leaders to get people into their stores. However, the NHS is most definitely NOT "paying 30 times the actual price".

If anyone wants to see the NHS costs for particular individual meds, add a note to this thread and I'll see what I can post if I have some free time. Here's the BNF costing for Paracetamol:

it's a very simple fix.take the meds that you can buy relatively cheaply out of the Drug Tariff and then no one can prescribe on the NHS. Possibly politicians in debt to big pharma to keep the system as it is.

Andy reference/evidence to the 6 times figure?

NHS paid ~3p per tablet earlier this year. The NHS can prescribe 100s at a time, and will provide what the user needs, even if it more expensive such as effervescent, liquid or capsules. A supermarket can sell you 16 caplets at a time. Supermarkets charge from 1.2p to 2.5p for their value powder tablets.

The NHS is still getting fleeced on many things, but you can't assume that everything the NHS is prescribing is the cheapest, smallest option and than claim corruption. A direct comparison is more apt.
