It is our policy that GPs do not prescribe drugs of dependence until they have a full clinical picture.
A doctor who has not consulted directly with the patient and does not have access to their medical records is unable to exercise good, safe clinical judgment.
This decision of what or whether to prescribe will be a clinical decision based on the presenting symptoms and history.
GP’s have the right to refuse to prescribe any S8 /S4 drugs.
