Minutes:
The Director of Health introduced and amplified a report (copy attached to the signed minutes) on the consultation ‘Community Pharmacy in 2016/17 and Beyond’, which set out changes for community pharmacies as the Department of Health looked to integrate more closely with other NHS services and at the same time make efficiencies that included budget reductions.
Shropshire’s main concerns about the proposed changes were about rural pharmacies; the consultation did not appear to take into account that rural communities could be disadvantaged.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted and approved as Shropshire’s response to the consultation.
