Thousands of people call the NHS 111 phone line every month over forgotten prescriptions.
An NHS boss has issued a plea over repeat prescriptions ahead of the Easter bank holiday weekend.
The region's 111 call handlers receive between 6,000 and 10,000 prescription calls a month and are often deluged with requests on weekends.Dr Paula Cowan, based in Liverpool, encouraged the public to get their prescriptions in "as soon as possible". "That will mean they won't run short of medication and it will also give the pharmacy plenty of time to ensure their prescriptions are ready."She added: "This is about patient care and ensuring that we deliver the best care for our populations.
Dr Cowan advised the best way to order repeat prescriptions was through the NHS app or on a GP's website.
