pharmacies. However, people exempt from prescription charges may visit their GP to get a prescription instead. The aim of the Direct Supply of Medicines (DSoM) Scheme was to allow such exempt patients to consult a community pharmacist and receive OTC medicines free of charge under the NHS.

The experience from this pilot was intended to inform a wider roll-out of DSoM in Scotland.
