There are a small number of local National Health Service schemes that allow for the supply by community pharmacists of prescription-only medicines for some of these conditions, but data is not collected centrally. From early next year, the Pharmacy First service, enabling all community pharmacists to supply prescription-only medicines for the seven common conditions listed, will be nationally commissioned by the NHS.
