Please note this urgent directive from the Secretary of State Matt Hancock
Matt Hancock has approved a temporary measure in England which means that patients will not need to sign prescription, dental and ophthalmic forms for a period of five months, up until 31 March 2021.
This suspension has been brought in to help avoid cross-contamination in the handling of paperwork when collecting medicines or receiving dental and eye care.
Further information on prescription services, NHS dental services, and NHS General Ophthalmic Services and the changes in the regulations can be found here: https://bit.ly/2TMiFS8
