We have an existing agenda on tackling harms from alcohol, including a programme to establish specialist alcohol care teams in hospitals. The Government published the Drug Strategy on 6 December 2021, which will invest £532 million over three years in local authority commissioned substance misuse treatment services in England. This will benefit people seeking treatment for alcohol misuse as alcohol and drug services are jointly commissioned.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4592", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Caroline Johnson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sleaford and North Hykeham"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Caroline Johnson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-09-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "49199"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-09-22T11:30:19.45Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Alcoholic Drinks: Consumption"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce harms caused by alcohol consumption.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1506", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Gwynne"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Denton and Reddish"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Gwynne"} ], "uin" : "49093"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1355293", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1355293/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Community pharmacy is a vital part of the National Health Service and can play an even greater role. In the Spending Review the Government re-affirmed the need for the NHS to deliver £22 billion in efficiency savings by 2020/21 as set out in the NHS\u2019s own plan, the Five Year Forward View. Community pharmacy is a core part of NHS primary care and has an important contribution to make as the NHS rises to these challenges. The Government believes efficiencies can be made without compromising the quality of community pharmacy services including public access to medicines. Our aim is to ensure that those community pharmacies upon which people depend continue to thrive and so we have a Pharmacy Access Scheme, which will provide more NHS funds to certain pharmacies compared to others, considering factors such as location and the health needs of the local population. Our reforms are about improving services for patients and the public and securing efficiencies and savings. A consequence may be the closure of some pharmacies but that is not our aim.<\/p>
The Government announced the package of reforms for the community pharmacy in 2016/17 and beyond on 20 October 2016. This included full details of how the Pharmacy Access Scheme will operate, as well an impact assessment for the package of reforms. This can be found at:<\/p>
