They must discuss the options with the patient and explain the reasons for their choice including the significance of the licensing status of the medicine.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 20/11/2014 12:51:31 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
