@didyw That is plain ridiculous. Its a pack that shouldn't be split. Just ask them why. Even if the doctor prescribes it as 5 or 10 or 15, it must be given out as a single pack with the inhaler, and will be paid for as such. Either that or change the pharmacy where you get them from. Even If it's a dispensing doctor,(or the untrained receptionist) you can still ask for your prescription to be dispensed at a Pharmacy.
Which is why I said about people that move to the country and want town facilities.
Very unfortunate for your friend, but how many people would have been on that bus apart from him.
Potentially quite a lot. They lived in the main town of the area, albeit still not massive, but many people from there worked in Gloucester/Cheltenham.
Thanks @fidgetbones - he's going to ask at the pharmacy (which is part of our local medical centre) if they can go back to issuing monthly. He thinks it might have been changed at the beginning of the pandemic when they were worried about supplies. They are dreadfully short-staffed there.
Oh, that sounds completely different to what I'd imagined, I'm not surprised you won't be going this year, I'd feel the same. Is this a local tradition in Derbyshire, I've not heard of it before. Down here, we used to have local carols in the street just before Christmas but that was years ago and I've not heard any around here.

The problem was some years ago. It doesn't affect him or me now, and the bus service to the are has actually improved since.
