It is currently trying to recruit them into a new scheme called the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service. It must transform these loans instead into investments in the future of UK independent pharmacies. And when our independent pharmacists fold, the tragedy is that they will not be replaced. The Government needs to understand how serious the loss of community pharmacies will hit our national life. If you rely on your local pharmacist, I would urge you to write to your MP calling for their lobbying support.
