Reminder about repeat prescriptions over the bank holiday

PATIENTS with repeat prescriptions are being reminded to make sure they don't run out of essential medicines over the August bank holiday.

Pharmacy opening times across the Portsmouth area will be altered this weekend.

People are being encouraged to order their repeat prescriptions early before it is too late.

Dr David Chilvers, from Fareham and Gosport CCG, said: ‘I would encourage everyone with repeat prescriptions to check supplies of medicines to make sure they have enough to last.’
