Summary of report content

Healthwatch Sefton published a report on prescription services. They have been working with Sefton Parent Carers Forum, an active member of their steering group to gain feedback on how accessing prescriptions from Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust works. 

The feedback they received strengthens the emerging theme that there are issues for parent carers who access prescriptions from Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust.

The feedback shows that there are issues with access to repeat prescriptions and issues during transition to adult services. Feedback also shows that parents are purchasing medication from other sources, or lending medication to others.
