NHS Cheshire and Merseyside saved £5M and 641K prescriptions by reducing waste through a patient campaign.
NHS Cheshire and Merseyside saved 641,000 prescription items—equivalent to five double-decker buses—between November 2024 and March 2025, avoiding £5 million in costs.
The achievement stems from a campaign urging patients to order only what they need from repeat prescriptions to reduce waste and stockpiling.
The effort supports national goals to cut the £300 million annual loss from unused medicines.
The campaign is being relaunched in November ahead of #MedSafetyWeek, with health leaders emphasizing that reducing waste ensures medicine availability, improves home safety, and promotes efficient use of NHS resources.
