[QUOTE="Paul520785, post: 1331736, member: 28546"] [FONT=Arial]Another Update In response to the e-mailed question - [B]Has ####CCG issued an instruction to limit quantities issued?[/B] ===================================================================================[/FONT] [I][FONT=Arial]Thank you for your e-mail regarding Blood glucose testing in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

To me this clearly states "[I]we would expect the practice to discuss such circumstances with the patient" [/I]which is different to discussing with doctor then the dispensary manager effectively just saying NO.
