Speaking at the Council Dinner, Hemant Patel, President of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, called for an impact assessment into the role of polyclinics.
The President told guests, including the Health Minister, Dawn Primarolo, that while the Society is not opposed to the concept of polyclinics, it is concerned that the network of community pharmacies could be put at risk if the model is replicated around the country.
Addressing the audience on the issue he said, "I call for a study or appropriate impact assessment at local, regional and national level to ensure that public access to healthcare through improved services in pharmacies is enhanced and not reduced by Lord Darzi's work."
