Mr Kingston asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the crisis in funding for community pharmacies, with two issues raised recently being, first, that the drug tariff paid here follows the English rate and, in many cases, is below the actual cost of the medicine, and, secondly, that a clawback in government funding is already at 9·7% and is due to double, and if he is aware, is he seeking a review to ensure the viability and continuation of our community pharmacies.
