Pharmacy: Access
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that pharmacies are accessible.
Answered by Stephen Kinnock
Local Authorities’ Health and Wellbeing boards have statutory responsibility to assess if the local provision of pharmaceutical services meets the populations needs, publishes these assessments (PNAs) every three years, and keeps these assessments up to date. The PNAs inform integrated care board commissioning decisions.
