The NHS is struggling, primary care GP's powerless or useless. Communication is poor, NHS trusts not sure who to refer to, too many Managers. Drugs that are unused need to be returned to pharmacies and reissued.

Why is this important?

According to NHS England, 10 Jun 2015 — It has been estimated £300 million of NHS prescribed medicines are wasted each year. (Bertie Hazell and Ross Robson (NHS Business Services Authority))

Surely drugs in there original packaging can be returned and reissued reducing waste and saving money.
