Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many blister medication packs per year are assembled by pharmacies for patients in England.

Compliance support services, for example the dispensing of medicines in blister medication packs, are not nationally commissioned and therefore no data is available on how many compliance aids are assembled every year in England. Under the Equality Act 2010, pharmacies must make reasonable adjustments to their services to help patients covered by the Act which could include compliance aids where appropriate.
