The Cabinet Member for Health submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) setting out the Stockport Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2018 which the Stockport Health and Wellbeing Board had a statutory duty to publish every three years.

The need for more pharmacies in the town centre as town centre living expanded, the general change to people’s working patterns and the growth of online pharmacies were issues which would affect the assessment in future years and would continue to be monitored.

RESOLVED – That the findings and publication of the Stockport PNA 2018 be noted.
