Noble Lords have spoken about the attraction of pharmacies. I totally agree. This measure will mean offering patients faster access to clinical consultations and advice on health problems. It will also mean, to go back to my noble friend’s point, allowing community pharmacies to have the opportunity to generate additional income through, for example, the Pharmacy First service, the pharmacy contraception service or the new medicine service, which will be expanded later this year. These are all opportunities for pharmacies to generate additional income and better serve the public.
