answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2016 answer text <p>It would not be possible or practical to monitor how individuals choose to access medicines or services outside of the National Health Service or to assess the impact on that individual. Registered pharmacies that operate online and that may supply drugs for use as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are the responsibility of the General Pharmaceutical Council. We are aware that some local authority commissioned sexual health services are offering monitoring of the pharmacological efficacy of generic PrEP however this is a matter for local decision.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton grouped question UIN HL1350 HL1351 question first answered 25/07/2016 10:46:08 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
