Issue - meetings

The Board received and noted the report detailing the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment Refresh.  It was noted that the H&WBB had a statutory responsibility to publish a statement of the needs for pharmaceutical services on the population in its area, referred to as a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) which would need to be in place and approved by April 2018.  It was noted that there would be further updates to the Board over the forthcoming year and to support the development of the assessment it was suggested that a working group be put in place.
