Following my hon. Friend’s contribution, I also want to put something on the record. I have had representations from pharmacists in Newcastle-under-Lyme in north Staffordshire who face funding cuts. They are, quite frankly, baffled, because they are also expected to do more on the frontline to help patients and relieve pressure on GP surgeries, which, like much of our health service, are embattled at the moment.
