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.

Feeds and calendars follow our twice-daily scheduled checks of the sources — they are not live. See privacy for what a sign-up stores.

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.
