People should be wary of buying medications on the internet after an investigation found "widespread failings" by some online providers.

The Care Quality Commission inspected 11 internet prescription services in England, finding some "potentially presenting a significant risk to patients".

Sandra Gidley, chair of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's English Board, and Charles Lowe, managing director of the Digital Health and Care Alliance, the industry body for digital health, discuss the arguments on both sides.
