What this protocol permits

Read from the signed protocol — an excerpt for reference, not advice. The medicine to be supplied is quoted verbatim (every word checked against that PDF); scope and legal category are read from it. Quantity is deliberately not reproduced here — the full protocol sets the quantity, inclusion criteria, exclusions and endorsement rules; follow the complete document issued to your pharmacy.

How this protocol ended

Two kinds of entry, never merged: announcement-dated(the CPE post's own date for the change it announces) and register-observed (dated by the twice-daily check that first showed the change on the NHSBSA register — when we saw it, not when it was decided). Extensions made before our register captures began are known from CPE announcement posts only.

Dates are as stated in the source documents. Where a protocol's announcement post and the NHSBSA register disagree, the register wins and the conflict is flagged. Serious Shortage Protocols are archived back to 2019.
