Welsh community pharmacy contract regulations amended

Draft NHS (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2005 for Wales were withdrawn from the National Assembly for Wales by health minister Brian Gibbons recently, after it emerged that they did not reflect the agreement reached between the Assembly, Westminster and community pharmacy organisations across England and Wales.

A spokeswoman for the Welsh Assembly Government told The Journal: “The regulations have been amended to reflect the joint settlement negotiated on behalf of England and Wales by the NHS Confederation and the PSNC.” The revised amendments have now been put through the Assembly under the “executive procedure” which would allow them to come into effect on 1 April.
