Permitted controlled medicines include a very limited range of medicines, such as those for epilepsy (phenobarbital). Many commonly use controlled medicines such as morphine or diamorphine can't be supplied by a pharmacist without a prescription in an emergency. Is it an NHS service? No. Supplying medicine in an emergency is a private service that is not funded by the NHS, meaning pharmacists can charge for it. The charge will vary depending on the medicine and the pharmacist's policy.
