COMMUNITY PHARMACIES
Early day motion 815, tabled 4 March 2003 by Lord Grayling (Conservative). Signed by 190 members.
That this House believes community pharmacies play a vital role in providing for local healthcare needs, with highly qualified pharmacists able to advise on general and over-the-counter medicines and dispense and advise on prescription-only medicines; notes that community pharmacies are truly local, with nine out of 10 people considering it easy to get to a community pharmacy; and is concerned about any change which might lead to a reduction in the excellent services or accessibility currently provided by community pharmacies.
