Government - Be Ready Campaign - Medication - Repeat Prescriptions - Order in Good Time! - Don't wait till you have almost run out!
Following the Government’s “Be Ready” campaign, some patients have asked for additional medication to keep at home in case of an emergency"
The advice is to ensure you have your essential medicines available and order repeat prescriptions in good time. It does not recommend stockpiling medication.
Please continue to order your usual medications, allowing at least five working days before your medication runs out. Only request the items you need, as stockpiling can contribute to shortages for other patients."
