Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the sustainability of community pharmacy funding.
The Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) five-year deal from 2019 to 2024 commits £2.592 billion each year. Additional funding has been made available to community pharmacies for COVID-19 and flu vaccinations and the medicines delivery service and Pharmacy Collect. Negotiations with the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee on what the sector will deliver in 2022/23 are ongoing.
