Today we published new analysis showing that deprived council areas have been disproportionately impacted by pharmacy closures in the last three years. A localised analysis of the latest NHS pharmacy closure data weighted by population found that three quarters of the top 50 areas for closures in the country had higher than average levels of deprivation. Liverpool was the country’s capital for pharmacy closures, followed by York. Blackpool, Wakefield, Coventry and Kingston Upon Hull were all in the top ten council areas for pharmacy closures since October 2022. We have joined forces with the @LGAComms to warn of widening health inequalities and call on the government to provide an urgent funding uplift or risk the NHS’s Ten Year Plan failing before it has even begun. These calls were reported by the Mirror, across BBC regional TV and radio and our Chief Exec Henry Gregg spoke to LBC News. You can read the analysis in full, including closure information for your council area, here: ow.ly/4jtA50Xht0P
