DHSC has confirmed that the dispensing practice home delivery service to clinically vulnerable people (CEV) in England has been commissioned until Wednesday 31 March.

As announced, the CEV list now includes up to 1.7 million additional  individuals, who have been added to the Shielded Patient List.

If friends and family are not able to collect medicines for CEV people, and it is not possible to arrange a volunteer, then CEV patients will be eligible for free medicines delivery.
