PATIENTS who waste medicine are costing the local NHS more than ?1million each year.
Thousands of litres of medicines are returned to Basingstoke community pharmacies every month ? much of which is unopened.
Now, North Hampshire Clinical Com-missioning Group (CCG) is highlighting the issue, which it is trying to tackle as part of the Help Us to Help You campaign, supported by The Gazette.
Alma Kilgarriff, lead pharmacist at the CCG, said there is no overriding reason why medicines are wasted and returned.
