CCA companies will vote independently on contract

Company Chemists’ Association members have denied that they will exercise a block vote on the new contract.

At a CCA directors’ meeting held to discuss the new contract last week, the member companies confirmed that they will consider their own positions over the coming weeks and then submit individual ballot papers to the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee. The nine companies that make up the CCA are Asda, Boots The Chemists, Lloydspharmacy, Moss Pharmacy, Rowlands Pharmacy, Safeway, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Superdrug.

The CCA board also confirmed its commitment to supporting the Scottish Pharmaceutical General Council in its negotiations with the Scottish Executive Health Department on the new Scottish pharmacy contractual framework.
