Inquiry into the contribution of community pharmacy to health services in Wales
The
Committee’s original inquiry
The National Assembly for Wales’s Health and Social Care Committee undertook an inquiry on the contribution of
community pharmacy to health services in May 2012.
The terms of reference for the inquiry were
as follows:
To examine the effectiveness of the
Community Pharmacy contract in enhancing the contribution of community pharmacy
to health and wellbeing services, including:
- the extent to which Local Health Boards have taken up the
opportunities presented by the contract to extend pharmacy services
through the provision of ‘enhanced’ services, and examples of successful
schemes;
- the scale and adequacy of ‘advanced’ services provided by community
pharmacies;
- the scope for further provision of services by community pharmacies
in addition to the dispensing of NHS medicines and appliances, including
the potential for minor ailments schemes;
- the current and potential impact on demand for NHS services in
primary and secondary care of an expansion of community pharmacy services,
and any cost savings they may offer;
- progress on work currently underway to develop community pharmacy
services.
The Committee held a public consultation to
gather evidence on this topic
The
Committee’s report
The Committee reported in May 2012. The Welsh Government responded in July 2012. The Plenary debate took place on 11 July 2012.
The
Committee’s follow-up work
In spring 2014 the Committee agreed to
undertake a targeted call
for evidence from
