Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many (1) lay, (2) patient group, and (3) professional, members have been appointed to the Regional Medicines Optimisation Committee (South).
The South Regional Medicines Optimisation Committee has two lay members and 27 professional members. There are no patient group representatives on the standing membership. NHS England, however, would expect patient representatives to be consulted where there are issues relevant to their areas of expertise or where support to develop patient centred advice is required.
