In South Glamorgan (now "Bro Taf") there is an agreed list of
"specialist" drugs which are considered OK for GPs to prescribe under
shared care arrangements, with a written treatment protocol provided
for each. Clomiphene is on the list and we do prescribe it under
consultant supervision, whether NHS or private. Injectable fertility
drugs are not on the list and we now insist the hospital prescribes
these, despite occasional pressure (moral blackmail?) from private
patients and specialists.
