Centralised prescription ordering system

When I phoned my pharmacy on Friday afternoon to order my repeat prescription, she told me I now had to ring an 01502 number to some call centre. 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 do hope that you will be monitoring this backward step. My issue is not with my pharmacy but with the new centralised prescription ordering system set up by the commissioning body. Feel the name of my excellent pharmacist is, therefore, irrelevant.
