Dr Richard Spires delivering his presentation yesterday. Another very important point he raised was that of ‘Wastage’ – People stocking medications and not using them. I remember my late father had drawers worth of medications and I am sure he was not alone.
This is one area that can or maybe addressed in order to save money.
One thing for certain as remarked yesterday – even if after these relatively minor cuts/changes there will be some swingeing cuts to come – I am talking about Pharmacy/Prescription services.
This will be just ‘One’ area we know will be affected – there are and will be many others.
The only area I know there to be NO cuts is that of MPs Pay – but of course that was done by ‘an independent panel’ Oh Yeh – How independent.
