CPCF Negotiations

Janet Morrison, Chief Executive of Community Pharmacy England, said:

“With April rapidly approaching there have been a number of queries about the timings of the CPCF negotiations. As well as additional funding, pharmacy owners desperately need clarity about the future; many are already making impossible decisions to help their businesses to survive and to protect patients. All CPE Committee Members are fully aware of the sector’s urgent need for funding and of the need to resolve negotiations as robustly and speedily as possible to secure the best outcomes for pharmacy owners. We are not able to give a running commentary on negotiations, but as the Secretary of State commented to Parliament last week – negotiations are ‘about to conclude’. It remains our goal to communicate with the sector as soon as possible, and before the start of the financial year.”
