Description
The way dosage.text is defined seems to make it "additional" to the rest of the structured data. There is also a use case for a "text representation of the entire dosage".
This ticket is raised to see if dosage.text is actually intended to be that use case ("entire"), or is "additional".
If it is "additional" then there may be a need for a standard extension to cover the other use.
Context is a UK requirement for two full representations of dosage - one pure string, one pure structured - so that either is sufficient, and you should not use both.
