The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when negotiations on the 2024-5 and 2025-6 community pharmacy contractual framework will be agreed.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

We are working at pace with Community Pharmacy England to ensure that the funding we have available is used to support community pharmacy in the best way possible to support them in dispensing medicines to patients and to offer a range of clinical services including Pharmacy First.

We will announce the outcome of the consultation in the usual manner, by letter to contractors, when the consultation has concluded.
