| Abstract: | On the 1st December 2006 legal notice 292, Medicines Act (CAP 458) entitled Prescription and Dispensing Rules 2006, came into force. This legal notice seeks to lay down in a very clear manner the legal framework for prescribing and dispensing. It appears to have been welcome by pharmaceutical and medical professional associations as well as by the respective regulating bodies. However, the uptake by practioners appears to have been slow. It is indeed true that a change in practice tends to take time, yet in this case the stakes are high as the impact is on patient safety. |
