The Medicines for Human Use (Prescribing) Order 2005
Article 2 of this Order creates a new exemption to the restrictions imposed by sections 7 and 8 of the Medicines Act 1968 (general provisions as to dealing with medicinal products and provisions as to manufacture and wholesale dealing). It provides that the restrictions imposed by those sections shall not apply to the preparation or dispensing or to procuring the preparation or dispensing of a medicinal product for human use in accordance with a presciption given by a supplementary prescriber where this is done by or under the supervision of a pharmacist in a registered pharmacy, hospital or health care centre or, in Scotland, in a care home service.
