E-Health Insider has learned that of the 1.6m electronic prescriptions issued by the Electronic Prescription Service, just under 30,000 have been seamlessly sent and received all the way through to dispensing.

Out of the 1.6m scripts created electronically by GPs, just 29,386 have then been sent over the NHS spine, received and called down by a local pharmacy for dispensing. Of those called down, 26,676 have been dispensed to patients.

This means that less than 1.5% of electronic prescriptions issued are actually being managed electronically end-to-end by the initial version of the EPS -- which still involves the printing of a paper prescription.
