He was not happy with this as they were choosing which medicines they were going to purchase. But the laugh was, he did not mention, that GP's were charging $21. per script (my medical centre) and for that all he does is sign off on a computer generated form. So in my case, for the family, is $40.00 for the script plus $42.00 for the GP signature total $82.00 for the first 20 and then they are free, but no, the GP's still charge $42.00 per three months. Total annual fees charged by GP $168.00, plus script $100.00. That's $268.00. At least with the script you get something in your hand for your money. Think about it.

Are flies & insects driving you crazy this summer?
Exceed's retractable screens for windows & doors are the perfect solution to create and enjoy a bug free, spray free home this summer!
- Our clever screens can be pulled into place when needed, then pushed back into a discrete, tidy cassette when not in use.
- They are smooth and easy to operate.
- They’re stylish, robust and a significant innovation over old-style hinged or sliding screens that were permanently visible all year round.
- Plus they can be colour matched to your joinery.
- They fit most window and door configurations including, hinged, bi-fold, sliders, and French doors.

Perhaps you're a first-time home owner who has opted to build, rather than buy pre-existing, or maybe you're seasoned home owners who have taken the first step to create your own dream home.
We'd love to hear from you about the challenges involved in building, and why you've opted to take that route. Any interviewees would need to be willing to be identified and photographed in a news story.
Please email kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz.
