Pharmacies can't just keep absorbing these costs. Already closing at an alarming rate, the number will only go up unless something is done about it. Independent Pharmacy Contractors Network Community Pharmacy England

It may be unfortunate in the eyes of some but the one can only be pushed so far. Community pharmacies have been on the brink of action for years, but have always let their patient's interests override them. But it can't go on anymore. We are all ready to act, if necessary.

We can walk away and direct all patients upstream to GP land and hospital. Perhaps then Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England will sit up and take notice.

This! "our livelihoods are jeopardise as is the health of our patients". When will Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England realise that the two go hand on hand. The more phaemaciea struggle and suffer the more patients do by extension.

In a recent Hoc select committee meeting Wes Streeting admitted there has been "a real terms funding cut of 28%" for CP. We know it's closer to 60%. But the admission is there, they know we are underfunded. 1hr 58 Derviş Gürol MPharm PG Dip (Law) Community Pharmacy England TasB youtu.be/CYqugOZXjZ8?si…

The economic review may be focused on funding but it must be understood that there is a direct correlation between appropriate funding and patient safety. Lack of funding =lack of patient safety, pure and simple, unfortunately.

This is the BBC's banned documentary about Gaza. It was taken down after pro-Israel lobbying. Let's make sure we watch it - and share it.

Independent contractors are coordinating and mobilising, in a way like never before. When you have everything to lose it can bring people together to create strength. If Community Pharmacy England fail, there will be an uproar like never before. Time to listen to those you represent!

Good points, well made. I know that my rep is well known and well respected but I'm 17 years of being a contractor I have never had contact from them. They'll know what it's like, but it's time we made sure they know how we feel. Chemist+Druggist Independent Community Pharmacist Independent Pharmacies Association (IPA)

This is just the start. Contractors voices need to be heard, and the best way to do this is to express themselves rather than waiting for Community Pharmacy England or anyone else to say what they think contractors want. We need to be fully consulted. Wes Streeting
