An all-wales Medicines Strategy Group (AWMSG) is in the process of being set up hby the Welsh Minister for Health and Social Services. The formation of the group follows a recommendation made by the task and finish group on prescribing, in a report issued in 2001, that such a group, accountable to the National Assembly, be established on a formal basis. The task and finish group recommended that the strategy group should provide advice in an effective, efficient and transparent manner to those organisations and individuals that have responsibilities around strategic medicines management and prescribing. And the remit of the newly formed AWMSG is just that.
