WHAT problems Bernadette Downes has! (ViewPoints, January 31).
If she does not wish to utter her address when collecting a prescription “in the chemist”, she simply needs to provide it in some written form or other, which may or many not constitute the “proof of identity” she herself subsequently proposes.
As for the “very dodgy characters” sometimes present in such establishments, lots of them would probably be incapable of recalling their own address, if they have one, let alone hers or those of any vulnerable, elderly folk.
