Data is not collected centrally on the number of Healthy Living Pharmacies routinely. However, information on the number of Healthy Living Pharmacies is available for 2015 and 2016 following a survey carried out of Healthy Living Pharmacy Leads, by Public Health England. Details of the numbers are included in the table below.
