Limit on NHS Prescriptions Have Your Say Have

Limit on NHS Prescriptions- Have Your Say Have your say on local plans to limit the range of items available on NHS prescription. The NHS in parts of Nottinghamshire is changing what can be given on prescription as part of plans to save £ 20 million. NHS Mansfield and Ashfield and Newark and Sherwood CCGs are planning to stop NHS prescriptions of gluten free foods; low priority medicines and over-the-counter remedies such as Paracetamol or hayfever preparations - with a few exceptions. You are being asked for your views about the plans and to see if there any exceptions that should be considered before they are implemented.
