I was interested to read a case study that stated that pharmacies are now spending 50% more time with patients since they have adopted a hub-and-spoke model, so I am sure that noble Lords will understand why we are keen to make it available more widely. It is also the case, as the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, said, that, if there are additional patient-facing activities at pharmacies, they take pressure off other parts of the NHS, particularly in terms of general practice.
