I don't use any medications so can't tell you if it is helpful of not, neither do I know whether it takes on board the change Brenda has identified ( it was last updated June 2007). http://www.portal.nelm.nhs.uk/PGD/default.aspx Wendy _____ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Proud, Brenda Sent: 19 December 2007 11:42 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] PGDs hello all Apparently the change has come about under pharmacy legislation as part of the exemptions section on prescription only medicines.
