If you go into hospital for s short pre-plsnned short stay you are often asked to bring a supply of medication from home. However,for.an emergency admission like mine (I was actually taken from the community podiatrist as jr was concerned about my foot and general wellbeing,) you cannot do so. Yesterday for the fifth time in as it many months I was asked to get someone to bring meds from my home despite me telling them that it would involve round trips in excess of 100 miles. By coincidence one of them is actually collecting some day clothes for me today so can pick up some of what the hospital wants but only ,two weeks supply as I cannot be left with none on discharge! When the original hospital asked for insulin I told them of a small local independent pharmacy can source it surely a large hospital pharmacy could
I suspect the bran counters are behind this nonsense wanting to put meds on a GP's cost centre rather than theirs.
