Salaried GPs: prescribing numbers
March 2006
Following pressure from the GPC sessional GPs and clinical and prescribing subcommittees, we are pleased to report that salaried GPs are now entitled to have their own prescribing number. Primary Care Organisations (PCOs) can apply to the NHS Information Centre (GMS Team) for an individual unique number for each of the salaried GPs on their Performers' List. We therefore advise salaried GPs to contact their PCO for a prescribing number.
We continue to make representations for locum GPs to have a unique prescribing number too.
