Make sure you're aware of the dates
People living across Lancashire and South Cumbria are being urged to order repeat prescriptions if they are due to run out in the next few days as upcoming days of industrial action which will see significant pressure on the NHS.
Dr Peter Gregory, associate medical director for NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board , which organises healthcare services in the region, said: “Bank holidays are typically a busy time for health services and you can play your part by being prepared and knowing what support is available for you should you need it.
“Community pharmacies also generally need between 24 and 48 hours from when they receive a repeat prescription to prepare medicines.”
