For anyone who hasn't noticed, you can get four monthly prescriptions on one 3-month Pre-Payment Certificate, so it's cheaper to buy three 3-month cards for £87.30 than one 12-month card for £104. It only saves £16.70, but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

You probably should not have said that, crun. Someone's bound to notice at the NHS now and put a stop to it.

Definitely an official oversight. Everyone who can benefit from this mistake should do so asap.
