CAN someone please tell me why it is so difficult to get medication in Okehampton?

I have lived here for about 18 months. Admittedly I need to take loads of meds for my many chronic illnesses as I have been ill for most of my life.

The town that I lived closest to was smaller than Okehampton and it had four chemists, all of which were kept very busy.

I have now decided that I can no longer repeatedly ring for my meds so will be going without. Okehampton needs at least three more chemists and the ones already here need at least six more staff per chemist.
