HC Deb 09 December 1985 vol 88 c446W
19. Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will bring forward proposals to increase the number of rural pharmacies in Wales.

Mr. Mark Robinson

The need to support small pharmacies in some areas has long been recognised and additional payments are available for this purpose under the present essential small pharmacies scheme. The new pharmacists contract, when implemented, will further enhance this.
