NPA calls for NHS integration in Wales

The NPA has called for pharmacy services to be viewed as an integral part of the NHS in its response to the consultation on the contribution of community pharmacy to health services in Wales. The submission regrets that health boards have done little to develop community pharmacy in Wales since the initial inquiry in 2012. For example, a national stop smoking service has yet to be introduced.

Steve Simonds, NPA representation manager in Wales, said: “Progress has been disappointingly slow and there is still much to be done to leverage the potential of community pharmacy to assist in improving the health of the people of Wales in an affordable and effective manner.”
