    Area of Science:

    • Health Policy
    • Pharmacoeconomics
    • General Practice

    Background:

    • The National Health Service (NHS) introduced a limited prescribing list in April 1985 to control costs.
    • General practitioners' attitudes towards such cost-containment measures are crucial for policy implementation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the attitudes of Scottish general practitioners towards the NHS limited prescribing list scheme.
    • To understand the nuances of practitioner opinions regarding prescribing limitations.

    Main Methods:

    • A random sample of 1 in 10 Scottish general practitioners was surveyed.
    • Attitude statements regarding the NHS limited prescribing list were administered to the sample.
    • Response rate analysis was conducted on the collected data.

    Main Results:

    • A response rate of 85% (260 practitioners) was achieved.
    • A majority of respondents expressed opposition to the existing limited list scheme.
    • Two-fifths of practitioners favored the limited list, while many objectors supported the principle of limitation but disagreed with its specific implementation.

    Conclusions:

    • The implementation of the NHS limited prescribing list faced significant opposition from general practitioners.
    • There is a divergence in opinion regarding the principle versus the practice of prescribing limitations.
    • Further consideration of practitioner input is warranted for effective health policy development.
