      Under the plans, ministers could tell pharmacies to give patients: - a reduced quantity - an alternative dosage - a therapeutic equivalent - a generic equivalent How does the govt intend to take the power to do this? Remember Henry VIII powers from 2017? Yep. Using those.

          Labour’s shadow health secretary @JonAshworth tells The Times: “If these plans were ever implemented they would represent an astonishing power grab by government ministers with some healthcare decisions being decided in Whitehall rather than the GP surgery.”

          They’re leaked government documents (leaks happen by those working in or around the govt). In what way do you think it’s pretend?

          Yes, but the maniacs in govt won't need to do much, as many drugs simply won't be available anyway. Besides, food and clean water shortages will put an end to many of those reliant on several medicines. The frail are the first to fall in a coup. #bbcqt

          I wonder what the insurance position would be for pharmacists who did this? OK if what they are giving is clinically equivalent; but if not?

          As an aside, your 4th option - pharmacists forced to prescribe a generic equivalent to a branded drug - is one of the very few positive outcomes of Brexit that I have seen...

          It’s not good in all cases; can be dangerous in some cases eg some anti epileptic meds
