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.
On the medicine record

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.
- 23 Jan 2026Withdrawn early — the register states 23 Jan 2026observed on the NHSBSA register on 10 Jul 2026
