• The post you are reporting:
   
  This incident occurred as a result of minor injuries not being able to issue prescriptions. Nobody was refused a prescription any person requiring a prescription has to be logged on to the system i.e. date of birth, name, residency and the nature of the illness the prescription is for. This procedure takes roughly 20 minutes, which is not unreasonable.
  The doctor was not late starting his 1.0pm shift so in thios case had the lady waited she may have got her prescription quicker than the 20 minutes originally given.
  Prescriptions in the Irish Republic are not difficult to obtain, although I do believe you have to pay for them.
  Much has been said about the out of hours service on here but to a large extent some of it is unfair, I am sure that if my mother required a prescription I would be prepared to wait, however long it took for it to be done.
