Many independent pharmacies in the South Lakes are in danger of going out of business because of reductions in payments for prescriptions by NHS England.
Often, the money pharmacies receive from the NHS doesn't even cover the cost of the drug being dispensed.
I/we the undersigned call on the Government to fully fund the cost that community pharmacies have to pay for medicines and for an Essential Community Pharmacy Scheme to be set up to provide the core funding so that community pharmacies won't be forced to close.
