Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the 2,300 Boots pharmacies and 300 independent community pharmacies which are participating in the Ask for ANI codeword scheme will be in Wales.

There are currently 116 pharmacies (101 Boots pharmacies and 15 independent community pharmacies) participating in the Ask for ANI codeword scheme in Wales. There is an on-going sign-up process open to all pharmacies to join the scheme, so the total number of pharmacies involved in the scheme is increasing each week.
