Committee Recommendations (1)

September 2007 – The DH changed the regulations and advice relating to the treatment of TB. Patients requiring TB medication should be treated in specialist TB clinics where they will not be subject to prescription charges. FP10 prescriptions are not exempt from charges and should not be used.
