I believe the only thing a practice has to do is to keep a log of
prescription blocks delivered to the practice and issued to docs. It isn't
necessary to keep records of individual wasted scripts, and I would
challenge the HA to show where the guidance says this.
We had a brief skirmish over this, and the HA caved in when I established
agreement among a group of GPs to put all their wasted FP10s in black bags
and send them back to the HA, so that HA staff could log them on the
dreadful form the HA proposed using.
The HA backed down ultraquick - to be fair, I don't think our finance people
believed me the first time around when I told them repeat prescription
printers can chew up around 10% of scripts.
