The Department does not hold the information requested.

The General Pharmaceutical Council holds data on the temporary register of all pharmacy professionals which was created due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

However, the temporary register data does not contain information on how many of those pharmacy professionals previously worked in community pharmacy or would intend to work in community pharmacy if they returned to work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
