They are:</p><ul><li>the introduction of a fixed tariff of compensation for pain, suffering and loss of amenity for whiplash claims with a duration of up to two years; and</li></ul><ul><li><p>banning the practice of seeking or offering to settle such claims without medical evidence.</p></li></ul><p>In addition, secondary legislative rule changes will bring the vast majority of whiplash claims into the small claims track.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 23/11/2017 17:15:33 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2024 answer text <p>The Department monitors changes to the market closely to understand patient access to pharmaceutical services within the National Health Service. The law requires that every three years, local authority Health and Wellbeing Boards undertake pharmaceutical needs assessments to identify if there is a need for improvement or better access to services in the local areas. Contractors can apply to open a pharmacy where there is a gap or a need for improved access to services or if they can make a case for providing other benefits to the local communities.</p><p> </p><p>When their usual local pharmacy closes, patients can choose to access any of the remaining pharmacies nearby. Patients can also choose to access NHS pharmaceutical services remotely through any of the approximately 400 internet pharmacies in England, which are contractually required to deliver medicines to patients’ home address free of charge.</p><p>There were 10,673 pharmacies on 31 December 2023 providing NHS services in England. Access remains good with 80% of the population living within 20 minutes walking distance of a pharmacy and twice as many pharmacies in the most deprived areas of the country.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 01/02/2024 17:02:51 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
