Committee Recommendations (1)

The committee agreed that it should be a RED drug on the traffic light system if initiated following an out-patient appointment by a secondary care specialist / GPSI as the cost of the drug is included within PbR tariff. However, it was agreed that GPs may make an individual clinical decision to prescribe for recurrent skin lesions after initial diagnosis
