Original Feedback for Great Yarmouth and Waveney Clinical Commissioning Group:

Change for change sake

When I phoned my pharmacy on a Friday afternoon to order my repeat prescription, she told me I now had to ring an 01502 number to some call centre set up by the Clinical Commissioning Group. Having developed a really good relationship with my pharmacist, I feel that this new method is a retrograde step. My pharmacist knows me and my complex health needs. I can discuss possible side effects and we can manage my pain relief medication according to how I am at the time. Speaking to a stranger (possible not a pharmacist) will deprive me of this support. I rang the service this morning, which is not a free number, and was held in a queue for over ten minutes. This means I paid on my telephone bill to listen to music. They seem to have placed another layer of bureaucracy in the system which seems crazy. Also, instead of ordering 3 days in advance, I now have to order 7 days in advance so yet another retrograde step. I do hope that you will be monitoring this backward step.
