Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to provide English pharmacists with a bonus payment on a similar basis to those provided by the Welsh Government to pharmacists in Wales.

We have no plans to do so.

The Government has provided a comprehensive package of support for community pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to the general support provided to all businesses. This has included the ability to claim for extra costs.
