Recommendation 4
4
Paragraph: 48
Medicine shortages risk negating general practice capacity gains from Pharmacy First.
Conclusion
It is also especially worrying that shortages are resulting in patients being directed back into general practice. There is a serious risk that any capacity that general practice gains, through services like Pharmacy First, will be negated by the time spent re-issuing prescriptions as a result of shortages, thus undermining this initiative.
