RESIDENTS are being urged to have their say on pharmacy services in the town.
Warrington Borough Council is encouraging residents and professionals to make their feelings known about the provision of pharmacy services following a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) on behalf of the Warrington Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) and is seeking feedback on the draft document.
Clr Pat Wright, executive board member for health, wellbeing and adult services, said: “This consultation is a real opportunity for the public and professionals such as GPs and pharmacists to have their say about how pharmaceutical services are provided in Warrington.
"We are encouraging everyone to take a look at the draft document and give us their thoughts.”
A PNA is used by NHS England when they are reviewing any applications for new pharmacy provision or approving any changes to existing contracts.
The consultation draft is available to view at warrington.gov.uk/consultations.
Alternatively, the PNA and questionnaire are available as hard copies.
To request a copy, e-mail Carole Boyle via cboyle@warrington.gov.uk or by post at: Carole Boyle, Warrington Public Health Knowledge and Intelligence Team, Families and Wellbeing Directorate, Warrington Borough Council, New Town House, Buttermarket Street, Warrington, WA1 2NJ.
The consultation will run to January 4, 2015.
