I am interested to know why pads are included in Drugs Tariff provision, therefore they can be prescribed by GP’s and District Nurses, whereas pants cannot be prescribed. Is there a way of changing this?
Two great questions of our time:
- What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything
- Why incontinence pads are free on the NHS but pants aren’t.
Really? Perhaps ask the commissioning group at your NHS Hospital Trust.
