UK pharmacists are able to to do blister packs but this is a hugely labour intensive endeavour. Specific quantities of each medication need to be dispensed, placed in the correct pocket, checked and double checked. Compared to dispensing a factory sealed box of $X units. As a manual process it does not scale to providing this service for more than a small percentage of patients where the benefit is greatest (memory impairment, etc).

Also in my experience pharmacists dislike having to do this laborious process.
