I'm not sure that's correct. There is a set NHS price for prescriptions - it isn't magically the case that all drugs cost the same in the market. You'll see this if you go in with a private prescription - it will be considerably more expensive for most things.
If you are over 60 or otherwise entitled then they waive the fee - but the costs of NHS prescribed drugs are otherwise subsidised if the cost would have been above the determined prescription price.

My mum just got the all clear for cancer (follow up tests pending) having been diagnosed, operated on and discharged all within a month courtesy of the NHS.
i defy anyone who suggests there's a better healthcare system anywhere on the planet, and anyone that seeks to dismantle it, for whatever reason, can fuck off forever.

That is a brave display of ignorance.
Want to try answering again,
or,
do you believe that the NHS is so efficient that every course of prescribed medicine costs (magically) exactly the same as a prescription?

Hope you paid free market price for the antibiotics rather than the NHS subsidised price of a prescription.
