A primary care professor has reported a CCG for 'misleading' the public with a poster saying self-care medicines 'are no longer available' from their GP.
Professor Azeem Majeed, head of primary care and public health at Imperial College London, has reported NHS Dudley CCG to the Advertising Standards Authority because 'CCGs have no legal right' to limit the drugs GPs can prescribe.
With all due respect, T3 is hardly a 'Self Care Medicine'. I happen to be within the Dudley CCG, but it's T3 we all need, not cough medicine, analgesics, glutein free food.
