lloyds pharmacy took over the chemists on ncross road and prices have shot up. I went to renew my stocks of non-branded hay fever tablets to discover that I was buying the last proper non-branded pack available. There will now oh be "lloyds" branded medicines to buy aside from the normal clarityn type of branded medicines.


This will mean the price will almost double from 3.99 to 6.99. Apparently this will be the case across all of the over the counter medicines.


Boo hiss.

Since Lloyds took over they have become much more efficient in organising my repeat prescription.


Prior to that every visit was like Ground-Hog Day "Yes I did telephone it in 5 days go, yes my repeat presciption is with you - perhaps it is in that random pile of prescriptions over there?, no I am with The Gardens as I told you 5 minutes ago, no I cant come back, well go and find it then, well done it was out the back - like it always is"


Perhaps the previous lot had to sell up because their prices were too low?

That's a shame, always good for a variety of babyfoods and stuff. Though Health Matters sell the same things.

Boo hiss indeed. After using Maceys for years (who always had everything i need in stock) I have changed my repeat prescription to the Coop chemist on Lordship lane as I was appalled. Lloyds clearly have their own supplier who can not get them some pretty basic stuff. I waited 10 days while they blamed the manufacturer, which was clearly not true.

    • For those wanting to boycott US products, it might be useful to consider  a list of brands owned  by Proctor and Gamble:-     Ariel laundry detergent Crest toothpaste[4] Dawn dishwashing Downy fabric softener and dryer sheets Fairy washing up liquid Febreze odour eliminator Gillette razors, shaving soap, shaving cream, body wash, shampoo, deodorant Head & Shoulders shampoo Olay personal and beauty products Oral-B oral hygiene products Pantene haircare products Tide laundry detergents and products Vicks cough and cold products    
    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
