“ Better News ” Echt Shop Prescription Delivery Service As many Midmar residents have likely to have only recently discovered, NHS Grampian and Davidsons pharmacy in Banchory abruptly stopped
their prescription delivery service at the end of April. As far as I am aware there was no public consultation.
When I wrote to our MSP about it I pointed out that aside from the inconvenience of having to get to Banchory, which may be impossible for some, it will hugely increase the number of prescription miles travelled and how is that good for the planet! However on Saturday I received an eMail indicating that Porter Pharmacy in Westhill will take this on for a trial period of four months and, provided their is sufficient take up, the service will continue.
Anyone wishing to make use of this MUST contact Banchory Doctors Practice and tell them that they would like Porter Pharmacy in Westhill to collect and process their prescriptions. Article by Rob Ferguson - 07767 317486
