"It is the opinion of this AGM that the new Charter of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain must take account of devolution, and in particular NHS (Cymru) Wales and health and social services policy of the National Assembly of Wales.

"The members resident in Wales require that their elected Welsh Executive should be allowed the powers to establish policy for pharmaceutical and health matters in Wales.

"The members resident in Wales require that these powers should be explicitly written into any new or amended charter".

4. Any other business
