Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2018
Overview
Stockport Health and Wellbeing Board has a duty to prepare and publish a regular Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). PNAs are comprehensive assessments of the current and anticipated pharmaceutical needs of the community. PNAs assist local commissioners and service providers by giving an evidence base on how best to plan and commission pharmacy services to meet the needs of the population.
We are undertaking a full update of the Stockport PNA in 2017-18, so that we can update our understanding of the priority needs of our population and meet our statutory duties. As part of this process we are required to conduct a consultation process. The draft Stockport PNA 2018 is available at the following address until 12th March 2018: https://www.stockport.gov.uk/health-and-wellbeing-board/pharmacy-needs-assessment
What happens next
All responses will be considered thoroughly once the consultation period has ended and any substantive issues identified will be addressed within the final PNA.
If you require a hard copy of the draft Stockport PNA or have any questions on the document or consultation process, please contact the PNA project team at jsna@stockport.gov.uk.
