Health Services: Carers
Charles Walker calls for the Advance Service Medicine Use Review to be extended to cover people who are cared for by carers and members of their family.
Mr. Walker: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will extend the scope of the Advance Service Medicine Use Review to cover people who are cared for by carers and members of their family; and if she will make a statement. [123703]
Caroline Flint: Medicines use reviews (MURs) are available to any patient who has been receiving pharmaceutical services for at least three months from the pharmacy providing the MUR service. Primary care trusts can identify priority patient groups for MURs, including those that are cared for.
