Offender Health
Click here for more information from the Department of Health From 1st April 2008, following a change to the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) Amendment (No.3) Regulations 2007 (for England only), prisoners released from prison unexpectedly can now take a FP10 or FP10[MDA] to a community pharmacy to obtain their medicines free of charge. The prescription will be written by a prescriber contracted to the prison. This will cover the period of time until the ex-offender can arrange to see their GP, or register with a new GP. Initially this will only apply to a restricted number of sites and be rolled out gradually. For further information please click here for more information
