Edward Morello

Liberal Democrat — West Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024

Debate

Community Pharmacies: Devon and the South-west

Contribution

My hon. Friend raises a very important point: under the current funding model, pharmacists are reimbursed only if the consultation results in a prescription being issued. That results in a medicalisation of the process, which means that pharmacists are less likely to provide other sorts of solutions, such as community care. Does my hon. Friend agree that the model is fundamentally flawed and creates a medicalisation issue?
