Patients Choice Dispensed With
A discriminatory 100 year old law exists affecting between 5-7 million NHS patients living in rural areas who live within a radius of 1.6km, as the crow flies, of a community pharmacy. These patients are being unfairly discriminated against by being denied the facility of using their Doctors Dispensary.
This antiquated regulation is clearly anti-democratic being selective against a section of the rural patient population depriving them their right to "patient choice" and goes directly against the policy of "no decision about me without me" as enshrined in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. We have one rule which is giving us the right to have a choice and the other taking it away!
We the undersigned request the government repeal the Regulation.
