Today I popped into the Boots Pharmacy in Hessle to chat about Pharmacy First. I'm delighted that 302 pharmacies in our local NHS area have signed up to the Government’s new Pharmacy First approach.
This will mean that pharmacists can treat more conditions without patients needing to see a GP or have a prescription first, helping people receive treatment sooner and freeing up vital GP appointments in our local surgeries.
We are sticking with the plan to cut NHS waiting lists, deliver more care in the community, and speed up access to care for those who need it.
