A further visit to that place! Discharged on the 4.5.11 with new medication, when I ordered a further supply after calling the pharmacy (Pals) on 2.6.11 I got only one she had been on before. More calls by phone and since I had a sit in Thursday I called at the docs (at the pals) apparently her discharge notes had not been sent to our G P so the new drug she was on could not be prescribed. I was told that the staff at the docs would call Q P H. Apparently a G P had to call and ask for the notes before he could prescribe the right medication. Almost a month with only one months supply and a G P had to call for the notes.

No! I have not been to the complaints there as a G P having to call for medical notes before medication runs out should be in itself a wake up call!

When she was taken in the whole place was awash with police, A & E, 2 to each person admitted (mostly drink) no wonder the police are overstretched.
