Dear Minister Simon Harris.

Having understood the complexity of "Prescription Charges.

I had been wondering wether "Pharmacy's be so good to exsplain another overburden of "Stelf Taxing,,.

THE ISSUE.

Since the introduction of prescription charges it has become apparent that the correct formalities of charging arnt corectly put in place since the introduction of prescription charging having become law.

The term i would use would be "Transparency.

The system currently is that one would visit a "GP" and then trot of to a pharmacist for such prescriptions and thus pay acording to the volume of prescription.

If one is on many medications and such,,,and thus one is in receipt of "Social Assistance the patient is caped under the Health Service Exective" the patient is caped at €25 euros per month pending on volume of prescription .

However the "Transparency doesn't some how add up at the pharmacy's given if a patient uses local pharmacy and has paid in full to the capping amount,,,and then uses an alternative pharmacy after having been seen by a hospital doctor and thus given prescriptions for further medications,,,further has missed opportunity to collect at there local pharmacy and collects prescriptions at a diffrent pharmacy for some untoward reason out of there local area.

there is an instant charge for prescriptions,,,the patient isnt found in the "Pharmacy's Data Base" and then hence is requierd to pay additional fees per item.

the issue here is quite explanatory given one has to produce a Medical Card" and thus on doing so taping into the data base should potentially show that the patient has all ready reached the capping amount.

Unfortunately not so,,,,,,and thus this is were the "Stelf Taxation"takes place when one uses another "Pharmacey or Pharmacy's so can we find solution in so making the issue of capped charging more "Transparent specially in the age of 21st centry "Technology.

when a pharmacist punches in the key infermation of the patient no matter we're you are in the country it will instantly recognise that patient having been capped and thus therfore isn't requierd to pay any further.

please can we have this corection made more "Transparent" to pharmacists,,,this is called Stelf Taxing" and is a fraudulent act of deception being allowed to ferment its illegal and thus theft.
