Prescriptions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the operational impacts and additional costs caused by the current process of monthly in-person appointments to obtain long-term prescribed medicine.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
No assessment has been made as patients are not routinely required to attend monthly in person appointments in order to obtain long-term prescribed medicines. Information on how to order a repeat prescription is available on the NHS.UK website at the following link:
