GP Dispensing

Volume 477: debated on Tuesday 17 June 2008

18. To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received on dispensing arrangements for GP practices in rural areas; and if he will make a statement. (211307)

Following publication of the White Paper "Pharmacy in England: Building on Strengths—Delivering the Future", there have been a number of representations—through the Listening Events and through correspondence—concerning the future arrangements for dispensing by GPs including those in rural areas. Copies of this publication are available in the Library.

Formal consultation on our intentions to reform pharmacy services to improve services for patients will begin before the summer recess.
