Money set aside to develop new pharmacy roles In primary care and integrated services in 2017-2018 was instead spent on bailing out other parts of the health service. NHS England confirmed to The Pharmaceutical Journal that while "significant investment" from the Pharmacy Integration Fund (PhIF) was made in the 2017-2018 financial year, employing clinical pharmacists alongside GPs, there had been "other cost pressures in the system" and "some of the money that could otherwise have been spent on the 2017-2018 community pharmacy integration fund has had to be deployed elsewhere to meet those pressures".
