Public asked their views on Lincolnshire’s pharmacy provision

Lincolnshire residents are being asked for their views about pharmacy provision throughout the county in a two-month consultation running from now until March 8th.

The public are being asked if they think the locations, accessibility and services provided by pharmacies are adequate – both now, and for the future.

All Health and Wellbeing Boards are required to produce a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment at least every three years, to ensure the best decisions about pharmacy services are made for the people of Lincolnshire.

Councillor Sue Woolley, Executive Councillor for NHS Liaison and Community Engagement, and chair of the Lincolnshire Health and Wellbeing Board, said: “The feedback we receive from the public will help us put together our next Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment.

“Pharmacies, often known as ‘chemists’ provide lots of different and important services and this review makes sure that they provide what our residents want and need, and that they’re in the right places.

“Residents and interested groups can have their say on the draft PNA on the link below and make their views known.”

Take part in the consultation at the Let’s Talk Lincolnshire platform.
