| Prescribing Monitoring Document PMD |
|
Reports which provide financial monitoring information about prescribing costs against budgets.
It is a directive from the Department of Health (DH) that all General Practitioners (GPs) within a practice will receive a PMD statement.
The PMD system provides GPs, Primary Care Trusts, Strategic Health Authorities and the DH with monthly expenditure and forecasting reports on the cost of prescribing against their budgets.
Once a year the system is used in conjunction with DH guidelines and local knowledge to set appropriate prescribing budgets for GP practices. GPs automatically receive a monthly statement and an annual end of year return.
