Correct answer: A — Supply can proceed if PGD criteria and safeguarding assessment are met

This scenario assesses EHC PGD young person in a UK pharmacy practice context. PGD supply depends on competence, safeguarding and the specific PGD criteria. The best answer is Supply can proceed if PGD criteria and safeguarding assessment are met because it addresses the principal clinical, legal or safety issue before routine supply.
