Our response to NHS England's consultation on changes to NHS prescriptions

NHS England is consulting on changes to the way that NHS prescriptions work. Read our response to the consultation.

NHS England is proposing to make changes to remove products that are available to buy over the counter at your local pharmacy, such as sun cream, eye drops and indigestion relief, from NHS prescription.

We asked people to share their views on the proposed changes to find out more about the impact these changes could have.

Here we share our contribution to the consultation, based on the concerns people have shared with us.
