The noble Lord, Lord Scriven, referred to the concerns of individual pharmacists. A lot of the concern has come from individual pharmacists—the noble Lord, Lord Kamall, also made this point—and I understand that because, as ever, change raises concerns, hence this debate. However, I hope and intend that this change will establish the way forward and, in addition, that the ways in which the changes will be implemented in practice will give reassurance, not least because they are coming from the professional organisations. There will be a lot of discussion, and those concerns can indeed be raised.
