"Hospital prescriptions"

About: Burnley General Hospital

Been given prescription from hospital, which is useless has I can not get it, from hospital pharmacy as I am exempt from paying for them on all other prescriptions but not hospital ones.which means I will now have to try to get it changed to one from the doctor,which urgent care doctor said when I asked them if I had to get the prescription from hospital pharmacy.i could only get it from there. So well done . I am now sat at home in pain and no way of getting the medication for what I have , so I am left to suffer in a lot of pain and not going to get better.
