The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department plans to take to support community pharmacy through the 10-year plan.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock

This Government is determined to shift more healthcare out of hospitals and into the community, to ensure patients and their families receive personalised care in the most appropriate setting and community pharmacies will have a big role to play in that shift.

As part of the work to develop a 10 Year Health Plan, we have been carefully considering policies, with input from the public, patients, health staff, and our partners, including from the community pharmacy sector.
