Re: medication costs in Italy even when ive paid my NI in the UK
Sorry, in my haste I did imply that, but in fact over 60s get free prescriptions. Can't see that lasting much longer however!
About the other issue, I was talking about "claiming back" expenses but I've just read that you can't do that any more. It was all stopped on 1st January 2014!
Yes about the essenzione form but it does need to be "initiated" by your GP. You'll need to have a scan medical whatever to prove you have that condition. The consultant ticks the boxes that you can be exempt for drug payment and you take it to ASL. Our chemist is now on the network so it's true you dont need to take the certificate with you! I just take my whole filing cabinet with me wherever I go anyway. Just in case I get asked for random document.
Pass the prozac.

Pass the prozac.Prozac is not available on the NHS. Little wonder.
