Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government who is responsible for monitoring the provision of community pharmacy contractual services in England.

The arrangements for the provision of pharmaceutical services in England are governed by the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 2013. NHS England and NHS Improvement’s regional teams have responsibility for monitoring the provision of nationally commissioned essential and advanced services. Arrangements for monitoring locally commissioned services may be set out in local contracts or service level agreements.
