When I developed an Inguinal Hernia while back, it later became rather more protracted, so I asked my GP for a hernia belt to help keep things in place.
It was taking so long I bought one from Amazon and it's certainly helping matters. The surgery subsequently contacted me and, long story short, they're having problems sourcing one, even though there's a Boot's pharmacy on site.
Being a bit sceptical, I checked the Boot's website and they have them available in precisely to type I need, so I went to the pharmacy and asked why they couldn't order me one and the reply was that the Boot's version 'isn't approved by the NHS'.
You just couldn't make it up - !
