Trevor Phillips, "How are pharmacists supposed to do this when they have have had a real terms funding cut of about 16% in the last year"
Victoria Atkins, "This is part of my reforms to the NHS to make it faster, simpler and fairer"
TP, "You're giving pharmacists more work and less money"
VA, "That's not correct"
TP, "Pharmacists are saying that they'd love to do more work but they can't afford it"
VA, "Every pharmacist I have visited have seized the opportunity of Pharmacy First.. In the first month some 120,000 appointments were conducted"
TP, "Yeah but that's tiny by comparison with what you're promising.. You're promising to free up 20 million appointments"
