AnnotationThis response by Age Concern to the House of Commons Health Committee considers: how the drugs budget reflects decisions about health care priorities; the causes and extent of future upward pressure on the NHS drugs budget; and the possibility of selected listing and indicative prescribing budgets for GPs. Age Concern calls for the quality and effectiveness of prescribing for older people to be improved, and for clearer information to be given to patients about the benefits and side-effects of their drug treatments.
