This is slightly complicated.
Friend who is Irish but has lived in Manchester for over a decade came home yesterday, this morning discovered he had a rash so went to Doctor, he didn't have his EHIC with him but explained that he was a UK resident home for a holiday.
He got his prescription for free but had to pay for his GP visit.

I would have thought that the GP visit should be free unless the Doctor is not on the PCRS List.
If it should have been free would he be better just going straight back to the GP or apply through the HSE?
