A number of local residents have sent me campaign cards as part of the “Support Local Pharmacies” campaign. Due to the volume of these campaign postcards, I am unable to respond to each of them individually. However, I have written to Ministers at the Department of Health setting out the concerns that have been raised as part of the campaign. I thought it would be helpful to post the reply received from Rt Hon Alistair Burt MP, Minister of State for Community and Social Care, on my website setting out the Government’s response.
I will continue to keep close to developments on this important issue in the weeks ahead.
