The Government has recently announced a cut of £170M for the funding of community pharmacists (chemists) in England this year and further cuts have not been ruled out. It is believed that potentially 3,000 pharmacies could be closed.
Local Lib Dem campaigner Bob Sullivan says: “These cuts will be particularly hard for older and infirm people if our local pharmacies are forced to close. I’m asking you to sign our petition below to stop the cuts to our local pharmacies."
