Credenhill Pharmacy – Have your say!

We have been informed by the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB) that the application to open a pharmacy in Credenhill has been deferred.  What that means is that the decision, by the Pharmacy Committee, on whether a pharmacy is needed in Credenhill will be made following a consultation.  The ICB do not have any influence over this, but have advised that they can provide information to the committee in order to assist their decision.  One of the things that they could report is contacts from residents who would like to see a pharmacy being opened in the village. 

This is where we need your support!

The ICB have advised that if any residents would like to provide feedback to the ICB on their views on a potential pharmacy, then they can do so via:  hw.primarycare@nhs.net or by writing directly to ICB, St Owen’s Chambers, 22 Owen Street, Hereford. HR1 2PL. we encourage all residents of Credenhill make their views on a pharmacy known to the ICB ASAP.  The patient voice is important as part of all the decisions that are made and that if they have views or have experienced issued getting their medication since HMG stopped dispensing, the ICB would be happy to pass them onto the pharmacy regulations team who are looking at the application.

That does not guarantee that an application will be approved though.

As an aside, the ICB are aware that some patients have been receiving deliveries from pharmacies – they have advised that the delivery service is not a funded service – it is done by pharmacies on a goodwill basis and cannot be guaranteed to continue. Please bear this in mind, if you currently have your medication delivered and this is stopped would a Pharmacy in Credenhill be the solution.

In terms of timescales the consultation and decision making process will take a number of months and if a decision is made to open a pharmacy then the site will need to be redeveloped.
