Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment consolidation of two pharmacies

Report of the Director of Public Health

Decision:

RESOLVED:

 

(1)             That the Board agreed that the following representation should be made to NHS England:

 

a.     That the proposed consolidation of two pharmacies (Pharma Supply Ltd trading as Blake’s Pharmacy, 91 Blatchington Road, Hove, BN3 3YG with Trinity Pharmacy, 3 Goldstone Villas, Hove, BN3 3AT) does not create a gap in pharmaceutical services subject to receiving confirmation from Pharma Supply Ltd that the number of pharmacists available to provide services in the consolidated pharmacy, in comparison to the previous number across both sites, will be sufficient to prepare and provide prescriptions without causing untoward delays.

 

b.     The Board further noted that there is a reduction in hours due to lunchtime closure and asks whether this can be rectified by Trinity Pharmacy and whether the pharmacy can have a loop fitted for people with hearing impairments.
