PSNC DENIES CONTRACT WILL CLOSE 20% OF PHARMACIES

摘要

The Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee (PSNC) has distanced itself from meeting minutes that suggested it believes a fifth of pharmacies oould close as a result of the five-year pharmacy contract. Minutes from the Community Pharmacy South Central Local Pharmacy Committee (LPC) November 2019 meeting, which were reported to have come as part of a PSNC update, said the annual funding of ￡2.6bn agreed in the contract "will only support 9,000-9,500 pharmacies remaining viable businesses".
