Safety recommendation

It is recommended that NHSX supports the development of interoperability standards for medication messaging.

Response:

Regarding the report’s recommendation that NHSX supports the development of interoperability standards for medication messaging, we have now defined interoperable medication standards and are working towards setting up an interoperable medicines programme to support the adoption and implementation of standards as a priority, working at a pace which the vendor market is able to support.
