Pharmacy White Paper
Miss McIntosh (Conservative, Vale of York)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent representations he has received on the Pharmacy White Paper.
Phil Hope (Minister of State for Health)
Since we published our White Paper "Pharmacy in England: Building on strengths-delivering the future" on 3 April 2008, the Department has received some 200 items of correspondence on this subject from hon. Members, Noble Lords, health professionals and members of the public up to 31 October 2008. In addition, consultation on proposals to reform the current legislative arrangements for NHS pharmaceutical services as promised in the White Paper began on 27 August 2008 and closes on 20 November 2008. The Department is receiving many representations as part of this consultation.
