Deputising services have been instructed by the Department
of Health that they should use prescription forms that
have been stamped with the PCT identifier and an L. At
the time of prescribing, the deputising doctor should
add the identification number of the appropriate GP, e.g.
the patient’s normal GP; this enables the deputising
doctor's prescribing to be allocated to the correct practice.
Prescribing by deputising doctors is not included with
the GP's details, but is aggregated at practice level.
If the GP identification number is not provided practice
information on reports will be incomplete.
