Monica Harding

Liberal Democrat — Esher and Walton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2026

Debate

Community Pharmacies

Contribution

Boots closed its pharmacy in Thames Ditton in 2024. An application was put in for another one, but it was decided following a pharmaceutical needs assessment that the need was met by the chemist. However, elderly residents have a 20-minute-plus walk to get to the chemist, and the high street around it has pretty much collapsed. Does the hon. Member agree that, beyond macro PNA figures, local circumstances are relevant?
