Galley Hill Residents Association has been awarded a gold certificate in our recent Helth Check by Milton Keynes Council. This is very good news indeed for future funding and is mainly due to a lot of hard work and form filling mainly by our Chairman David.
Jenna Smith from Milton Keynes Council | Housing & Community Group dropped by to the coffee morning today to give us the physical certificate.

In line with many clinical commissioning groups nationally, and in particular Luton, Bedfordshire and Nene / Northamptonshire, NHS Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group is recommending to GP practices that they do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions from community pharmacies.  Work elsewhere has shown a high level of waste particularly when the patient isn’t contacted by the pharmacy before the repeat is requested from the practice.  See below where we have attached a leaflet that patients will receive along with a personalised letter from their practice.  Practices will also take the opportunity to promote sign up to on-line services.
