Issue - meetings

The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for Bromley was the formal document of the needs for pharmaceutical services in the area  intended to identify what was needed at a local level to guide the current and future commissioning of pharmaceutical services that could be delivered by community pharmacies and other providers.

The Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) had a statutory responsibility to publish a new PNA by 1st April 2015. Since 1st April 2013, every Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) in England had a statutory responsibility to publish and keep up to date statements (“Supplementary Statements”) of any changes in pharmaceutical services of the population in its area. The current PNA had been updated and Supplementary Statements were now required to be

published. A process for developing the new PNA was proposed.

The PNA would need to be considered by the Care Services Policy Development and Scrutiny Committee.

RESOLVED that

1.  It is agreed that the Supplementary Statement can be published

2.  The proposed approach for the delivery of the PNA by 1^st April 2015 is approved.
