GPs and pharmacies are reminding patients to put repeat prescriptions on their Christmas checklists alongside the turkey and tinsel.
Dr David Rooke, chairman of Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), said: “People should request repeat prescriptions from their GP in the next few days so they can enjoy the festivities without the worry of running out of vital tablets and medicines.”
