Maybe point out that GPs get all their IT costs covered, protected training time, subsidised budgets and lots of NHS support to run their operational services.

The beneficiaries of Pharmacy First will also include reduced demands on GPs.

You have to look at funding in the round.

@BatesMoira @Hardeep216 For details of how pharmacy’s manage the volatility of medicines shortages and prices - https://t.co/weFJcDkoRp.
In short, many many pharmacy’s are having to purchase medications in order to supply to patients, well in excess of the price they are reimbursed for them by DHSC.

[Michael Ball @mikejball]

Just an impossible situation that we find ourselves in as community pharmacy contractors. I really don’t know where we go from here, a truly frightening situation we are all in…

[CPLSC @ComPharmLSC]

How long can DHSC keep forcing OUR CommunityPharmacy teams to dispense at a LOSS on life saving medications for OUR patients..On LAST day CPE able to get Atorv20&80 to be added with total well over 100meds this month!! This HAS to change @DHSCgovuk @ComPharmEngland @LSCICB

[Michael Ball @mikejball]

@LesleyAtherton1 @nightrunner14 @drgarethwallis Wow very impressive 👏👏👏

[Mike Hewitson @MikeHewitson1]

Hello folks @JanetMorrisonUK @ComPharmEngland, when might the independent economic review of pharmacy services be getting underway, and how might contractors be able to contribute to it? @DHSCgovuk didn’t mention it when replying to @CommonsHealth
