Simeon Brown: Prescription changes to free up GP practices
from Politics Central · host Newstalk ZB
From today, New Zealanders will be able to get prescriptions that won't need to be renewed through their GPs for a whole year. The change will impact those with long-term conditions like asthma and epilepsy. GPs will decide on a case by case basis whether it's safe to prescribe a medication for the full 12 months, and patients will no longer have to see their GP every 3 months for a new script.
