Consultation on the Herefordshire Council Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment

The Health and Wellbeing Board of Herefordshire Council have produced a draft local Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) which will help ensure residents have good access to local pharmacy services. The last PNA was published in 2018 and a new PNA is due to be published on 1 October 2022.

This PNA provides an assessment of the current provision of pharmaceutical services across Herefordshire and whether this meets the needs of the population, identifying any potential gaps in service delivery. The PNA will also be used by NHS England to consider applications to open new pharmacies, or to commission additional services from pharmacies. Local commissioners may also use information and evidence contained within the PNA to commission additional services from community pharmacies. 

How to comment on the draft PNA

We have consulted with the public during January this year. We are now gathering views from stakeholders. We would like your views on the draft PNA before it is finalised and published.
