Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 3 August 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many people have had to pay for an additional prescription as a result of their medication being recalled as a result of safety concerns in each year since 2015.
If a prescription item is recalled, the patient is issued with a new prescription for an alternative product which will then be dispensed as a separate item. The prescriptions data systems are unable to identify this as a replacement product, therefore this information is not held centrally.
