People are having to queue outside for up to an hour to pick up prescriptions in a Midlothian town it has been claimed.
The leader of Midlothian council raised concerns over people's ability to collect their medicine after a bid to open a new pharmacy in a neighbouring community was rejected.
And he asked health chiefs how he was supposed to tell people to go and visit a pharmacist instead of a doctor for advice if they were unable to see one.
