Desperate for Medication at Military Camp

Completely unacceptable. Persistent denial by my general practitioner to continue medication originally prescribed by a consultant. Every time my medication runs out, I'm forced to contact PALS at POW Hospital to obtain a prescription from the consulting surgeon. The surgeon explicitly wrote to the surgery instructing them to maintain the prescription in the community. The most recent prescription provided only one month's supply, so I requested additional medication, explaining my challenging work schedule at a military camp in England from Monday to Saturday, which makes collecting prescriptions difficult due to pharmacy closure times. They flatly refused to transfer my prescription to an alternative pharmacy. I received the following dismissive text message after requesting a more extended medication supply: Dear Miss Llewellyn, Doctor has advised that we are unable to give you a 6 month prescription, you should have an army base GP who will take over prescribing. Please contact them for further information and prescription. Thanks, The Reception Team Tynycoed Surgery They're instructing me to use an Army GP, which is absolutely impossible - I'm not even registered with any military GP, nor am I permitted to be, especially since there isn't a GP on the immigrant housing camp where I work. Consequently, I've filed a complaint, again engaged PALS due to my medication shortage, and initiated legal proceedings.
