Our dispensary is experiencing a higher than usual demand for prescription requests.  This is impacting on our normal turnaround time. There is also the nationwide shortage of medicines that all pharmacies and chemists are experiencing. 

We are therefore introducing a seven working day turnaround for the collection of prescriptions. This is still a quicker turnaround that the High Street and also internet providers. We have also been working weekends and evenings in order to reduce the backlog and to try to ensure that when we receive supplies we can fulfil the prescription as soon as possible.
