โข Not everyone qualifies
โข If you need multiple medications or regular monitoring, blood tests, blood pressure checks, medicine adjustments you are unlikely to receive a 12 month script.
โข Only a limited number of medicines are suitable for 12-month prescribing (e.g. some statins, thyroid medication, vitamin D supplements).
โข Conditions like diabetes and other long term conditions, despite being mentioned publicly require ongoing review and dose changes.
