Community pharmacists have an important role in ensuring that patient get the medicines they need. If a serious shortage protocol is in place they can dispense an alternative but only as prescribed in the protocol.
A protocol would increase the transparency of communication across the health system and reduce confusion amongst patients and prescribers as the protocol will give prescribers clarity about what will happen in the event a prescription only medicine is unavailable.
A protocol would support the quality of care delivered by the National Health Service. In particular, in a situation with multiple large shortages, serious shortages protocols can have an important role in reducing delays in getting patients their medicines and freeing up general practitioners’ time.
The serious shortage protocol provisions would enable retail pharmacies to provide a generic medicine when the brand has been prescribed but only if there is a serious shortage of that particular branded medicine and only if the protocol, developed with and signed off by clinicians, allows for the substitution. This is not automatic generic substitution of branded medicines by retail pharmacies which is currently not allowed and the Department has no plans to change this.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether an NHS doctor denying an NHS patient access to their medical records would be grounds for disciplinary action by their professional body, employer or contracting authority.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether an NHS doctor denying an NHS patient access to their medical records would be grounds for disciplinary action by their professional body, employer or contracting authority.
Patients have a legal right to apply for access to their medical records and do not need to give a reason. A patient who is denied access to their medical records can make a complaint to the Information Comissioner and/or the relevant contracting authority and/or the General Medical Council (GMC) and/or the relevant employer.
There are some circumstances where exemptions may apply to a patients right to access this information and it would be a matter for the relevant body to whom the complaint is made to investigate further and decide on appropriate action.
Doctors have a responsibility to be familiar with and follow GMC guidance, and must use their judgement in applying the principles to the various situations they face in practice. They must be prepared to explain and justify their decisions and actions, and serious or persistent failure to follow the guidance will put a doctor’s registration at risk.
