Vaughan Gething, minister for health and social care, said in a statement on 16 March 2021 that the funding was in addition to ￡5.6m that had been promised to the sector in December 2020. He added that the Welsh government had also agreed to defer “further repayments against the ￡55m advance payment until the 2021–22 financial year … to support the cash flow situation for community pharmacies” .
