if paying for a private diagnosis and issued with medication, is the medication on private prescription or is it transferred to NHS prescription ?

My grandson has had a recent diagnosis of autism, he is months away from his GCSE'S. His sleep pattern is topsey-turvey. His GP cant prescribe anything stronger than phenergan 25mg.

I am wondering whether to go down the avenue of a private doctor and wondering will the prescription be private or will it be sent to his GP and issued as a NHS prescription?

We as a family are totally confused over the whole thing.

An NHS GP will still stick to what their system tells them to prescribe, also you have to try the medication before dismissing it or the dosage.

Going private is also unlikely to change the outcome unless you're feceptive about the symptoms and age of the patient
