Have your say on city pharmacies

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Health and Wellbeing Board is asking residents for their opinions about pharmaceutical services in the city.

A consultation is running from today (Tuesday, 22 July) to Saturday, 20 September for people to have their say on the quality and accessibility of pharmacies in Peterborough.

Every Health and Wellbeing Board in England has a statutory duty to publish an up to date statement that assesses the need for services in its area, otherwise referred to as a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

Councillor Shabina Qayyum, cabinet member for adults and health, said: “We want to hear from you to find out how well you think pharmacy services are run in Peterborough.

"How easy is it for you to get and use medicines and medical equipment from pharmacies? Can you access the services you need? Do we have enough providers of pharmaceutical services? Can you access advice about medicines, support on quitting smoking, emergency hormonal contraception and other services."

People can give their opinion, and find out more information, by visiting the council’s website.
