Update on the City and Hackney Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments 2022

Report of the Director of Public Health.

Minutes:

The Board considered a report of the Director of Public Health providing an update on the City and Hackney Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments 2022.

 

It was noted that many residents used pharmacies in Tower Hamlets and Islington, and not the City. It was also acknowledged that enormous work was being undertaken by pharmacies to keep people out of hospitals and maintain people’s own health and wellbeing. Officers confirmed Islington had not yet published their plan and agreed to contact them.
