Asked by:
Navendu Mishra (Labour)

There remains good access to National Health Service pharmaceutical services in England, with 80% of the population within 20 minutes walking distance to their nearest pharmacy. Access to pharmaceutical services is better in the most deprived areas with these communities having twice as many pharmacies as those in the least deprived areas.
