Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Gregory Campbell and Andrea Leadsom

Tuesday 5th March 2024 Commons Chamber

[Dame Andrea Leadsom]

I am very happy to discuss that matter with my hon. Friend, who is a huge advocate for her constituency. It is always disappointing when a community pharmacy closes, but she will know that the launch of Pharmacy First on 31 January expanded the value and contribution of all our community pharmacies. It has been met with a £645 million investment over this year and next.

[Mr Gregory Campbell (East Londonderry) (DUP)]

On access to primary care provision, will the Secretary of State assure the House that she will liaise with Health Ministers in the devolved Departments to ensure that rural communities do not lose out because of their isolated locations?
