During the pandemic, secondary care was provided with tailored access to the existing EPS system used in primary care. This enabled its use for outpatient prescriptions for community pharmacy and homecare prescribing. Secondary care system suppliers will now undertake the necessary development to ensure EPS can be utilised. There has been increasing use of electronic prescribing and medicines administration systems to support prescribing and medicines administration and discharge prescribing for inpatients within secondary care.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 28/04/2022 10:33:04 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
