“Although the removal by the software of Mr. [name redacted] repeat prescription played no causative part in his sad death, the alteration to a lifelong prescription without notification (nor any choice being given to) the GP gives rise to the risk that a patient will not be provided with the medication they need. That risk is heightened when patients are elderly and/or prescribed multiple medications and/or when, as here, they do not re-order as they possess medication in reserve.”
