§ The Earl of Kimberleyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why the pharmacy contractors in England and Wales have only been offered a 2 per cent. increase in their remuneration for 1994–95, when a 3 per cent. increase, recommended by the review bodies, has been agreed for doctors, dentists and nurses.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Baroness Cumberlege)Careful consideration has been given to the offer to be made to pharmacists for their remuneration for 1994–95.16WA The Government believe that the 2 per cent. offer that has been made to community pharmacists is a fair one and takes full account of all the relevant circumstances.
