Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:56 pm on 27 September 2016.
Thank you, Llywydd. Over the past few weeks I’ve visited two pharmacies in my constituency—the Rowlands pharmacy in Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and the Boots branch in Llangefni. Pharmacies, of course, play a crucial role in the wider provision of primary care, and I would certainly want to see that provision extended. Does the First Minister agree with me that we need to do away with some of the barriers that prevent pharmacies from playing their full role, including actually putting aside the ban on advertising some of their services, for example flu jabs and services in terms of smoking prevention and so on?
