Our Pharmacies have been here for you when you needed them most throughout the pandemic, with many staff making personal sacrifices to ensure people got the access they needed to medicines, advice, and services. The Government has reduced and then frozen pharmacy funding since 2016. With the current cost pressures pharmacies are finding it hard to survive. We’re being asked to do more work for less money. That’s why you may have seen some pharmacies shorten their opening hours, reduce staff, and stop providing some free services such as deliveries and medicine trays.

The attached document outlines the key messages and implications of the funding crisis. If you have any questions, then please speak to your pharmacist.
