In addition there are several exceptions within the guidance that outline specific scenarios (i.e. long term or complex conditions that require over the counter treatments, vulnerable patients, to treat side effects of other prescription only drugs) where prescribing should continue.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 16/04/2018 15:46:04 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
