Patient questionnaire awaits Welsh Assembly approval

Community pharmacists in Wales need to wait for the Welsh Assembly Government to confirm it is satisfied with the format of the community pharmacy patient questionnaire before they can start using it.

The format of the patient questionnaire was agreed by the Department of Health and the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee in England. However, WAG has yet to confirm whether it is happy with the format for Wales and how a bilingual version will be provided. Community Pharmacy Wales says it will continue to seek an early decision from WAG so that contractors can plan for the questionnaires to be completed by 31 March 2008.
