New medicines in Scotland
- who decides what the NHS can provide?

We have worked with the Scottish Government Health Directorates to produce information that explains the process medicines go through before NHS staff in Scotland can routinely prescribe them. Several organisations are involved in approving a medicine for use and the role of each is described. The information is for the public and patients.

New medicines in Scotland - who decides what the NHS can provide is available from our website as a pdf file. You can also view it on the the Scottish Government website.
