how much of what we believe about NHS actually comes from pharmacy threads
how much of what we believe about NHS actually comes from pharmacy threads, and I want the answer with the reasoning attached rather than just the conclusion.
Discharge from a specialist service at goal is a normal end point of that pathway. Whether prescribing continues in primary care afterwards is a local decision and is worth asking about at the start rather than at the end.
In England, specialist weight management services are commissioned locally, so eligibility criteria and waiting times differ by ICB. There is no single national threshold to quote.
A private prescription is an independent route: it does not affect NHS list position, and it is not a step in the same pathway.
I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.

Disagreeing with this line: that is the arrangement in one nation and the question is about another.
Is this a discharge back to the GP, or a discontinuation?
