Hi, in England all prescriptions for ostomy supplies are free I am told by my stoma nurse. I have not had my colostomy yet, due to go into hospital on 22nd November and op to take place on 23rd.
I have also been told that after my op all prescriptions will be free even for non ostomy stuff. Don't know how it all works yet but expect I'll have plenty of time after the op.
Of course we say prescriptions are free, but they are not really unless you are benefits, because of cause we all have to pay National Insurance if working or earning money. So this is why prescriptions are free at point of supply.
