As an MP who has taken an interest in local pharmacy issues for many years, I know the root cause of this crisis. The faceless bureaucrats that run the NHS do not see the value in local pharmacies. They are also refusing to fully repay the emergency costs incurred from staying open during COVID. A strong pharmacy sector will be crucial if we are to succeed in the fight against COVID. It’s time to get behind our local chemists and avert a national tragedy.
