Posting this under the heading it deserves: UK access routes, dated and sourced — a second dataset Everything below is what sits behind that.

Regional question, dated January 2026, because everything in this category expires.

The position differs between the jurisdictions people usually treat as one, and the differences are not marginal. I have set out what I can verify for my own region from primary sources rather than summaries.

If you can confirm or contradict this for yours, please date the answer.

a.adeyemi, post #6: Grateful for the specificity. Vague answers to this question are what sent me looking. Go to post

Where the compound is supplied with a device, the device and the compound have separate availability positions and the device is more often the constraint.

The uncertainty is in the assumption, not in the calculation.

sourced_claims, post #9: Confirming post #8 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person. Cross-border arrangements: some people source from other EU countries. Rules on import for personal use are changing post-Brexit. Current status requires checking with UKVI. Worth saying I have only my own numbers here, and n is small. Go to post

Supply and shortage resilience: both UK and Ireland sourced primarily from European suppliers until recent disruptions. Domestic availability and pricing changed.

Adding this to the thread rather than to the wiki, because I am not confident enough for the wiki.

Everything in post #24 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.

Members outside these two jurisdictions reading this thread should note that none of it transfers, including the parts that sound general.

This is the first time the answer has come with its own limits attached. Appreciated.

Nothing in this subcategory is medical or legal advice, and prescribers reading here consistently say so themselves.

The general case is well covered; this is the awkward specific one.

I read post #46 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Cost comparisons should state whether they include the consultation, the device, the needles and the follow-up, because those differ between routes.

A guess, clearly labelled as one.

a.jansen, post #19: I read post #17 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite. Anyone quoting an eligibility threshold should say which document it comes from. The thresholds have changed and the old ones are still circulating. Go to post

Narrowing post #57, because the general version has more than one answer.
