My honourable friend the Minister of State (Ms Rosie Winterton) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement today.

I have today placed in the Library copies of the executive summary of the report of the advisory group on the reform of the NHS (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 1992. It is also available on the department's website at:

The Government are considering the group's advice carefully and will make further announcements as soon as possible. We will publish the report in full when we publish changes to the regulations later this year.

I have also placed in the Library copies of the summary of responses, which was published on Monday 1 March, to the consultation on A Vision Pharmacy in the New NHS. It is available on the department's website at:
