Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 14 June 2023 to Question 188489 on Pharmacy, what his timetable is for implementation of secondary legislation on the hub and spoke model; and whether the legislation will apply to all parts of Great Britain.

We are finalising our response to the consultation and the timetable for bringing forward the implementing of the legislation. The intention is that the legislation will apply in all parts of the United Kingdom, but that will be dependent on the availability of parliamentary time across the four nations.
