Date: 03 November 2020 Category: News
With the various arrangements in place for the countries of the United Kingdom to protect the population from the spread of the Coronavirus, we understand that many of our customers may have concerns with regards to whether they can expect to receive their prescription products as normal.
We would like to reassure you that at present, we do not have any concerns about the continued supply of any manufacturers’ products.
The NHS are regularly checking with suppliers of goods and services and currently there are no issues with the availability of supplies. Therefore, GPs are being instructed not to encourage stockpiling, so we advise you to place your prescription requests as you would do normally.
We are continuing to monitor the situation as it develops and will keep you informed with any changes.
