Alongside discussions with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and NHS England (NHSE) on funding for Year 5 of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF), PSNC has repeated its urgent request for DHSC and NHSE to agree to regulatory changes which would help pharmacy owners to cope with the unrelenting financial and operational challenges they are facing.

Regulatory easements have been under discussion for many months but in February 2023 PSNC rejected proposals from NHSE as being inadequate.

The situation is rapidly deteriorating, so we have now asked for a range of measures to help all community pharmacies to reduce costs and bureaucracy. This briefing outlines PSNC’s proposals.
