Committee Recommendations (1)

04 Feb 26 - Surrey Heartlands Integrated Care System Area Prescribing Committee (APC)

It was agreed that NRT products should be available in all care settings to support smoking cessation, therefore most NRT products are proposed as GREEN traffic light status, with an indication of which are cost-effective choices.

A small number of NRT products are not in use in Surrey and so are proposed as non-formulary.
