Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what funding his Department makes available for minor ailments services provided by community pharmacies by service.

Minor ailments services are commissioned locally, based on the needs of local areas.

Minor ailments services are already commissioned by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) across many parts of the country and ultimately NHS England will encourage all CCGs to adopt this joined-up approach by April 2018, building on the experience of the urgent and emergency care vanguard projects to achieve this at scale.
