The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care asked Dr Keith Ridge, Chief Pharmaceutical Officer for England, to lead a review of overprescribing in December 2018. The work was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic because the majority of the participants have National Health Service clinical roles but has now resumed. The report will be finalised in the coming weeks.
