Does anyone have any experience of this Scottish "emergency supply" PGD?

This PGD came into effect in Scotland last year; http://www.pjonline.com/editorial/20...ysupplies.html
I wodered whether anyone out there had any feedback about it, one year on?

According to posters on private-rx, the system works very well. However, only available to pts registered with a Scots Dr. English visitors need not apply!

NEVER MIND THE ENGLISH, WHAT ABOUT MY WELSH PATIENTS?!?!?!
At this time of year I don't see many visitors anyway, the caravan parks are closed until march... But it would still be a great labour-saving scheme for the local GPs who are always stretched at this period, I wonder if it might be worth mentioning to our Local Health Board?
