Stephen Kinnock

Labour — Aberafan Maesteg

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 June 2025

Debate

Pharmacies

Contribution

My hon. Friend is absolutely right, and I commend him for the work he is doing in his constituency, including with pharmacies. In many ways, what we want to see is a culture change, because the interface between general practice and community pharmacy is not where it should be. We believe that pharmacists have a huge amount more to offer, but that requires a better digital interface and better information sharing—a single patient record. That sort of vehicle will be really important for delivering some of those reforms.
