Most pilot areas in Greater Manchester in my experience from the point of view think it is a great system when it works and a disaster when it goes down. We need to get the EPS service evalauted independently as in principle it is a good idea but hope they sort out its combined software and communications gremlins before it goes global on the unsuspecting patients being sent back to the GP to get a hand written script, not good if a script is unatainable from the spine and you are 70 years old and have to get on the bus again to get a hand written script from the GP in the pouring rain.
