- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of provision by pharmacies of blister packs for medication.
- Answer
-
Community Pharmacies in England are not commissioned nationally to provide blister packs, therefore no assessment has been made on the adequacy of provision. Pharmacies are required to make reasonable adjustments for individual patients with protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010, which can include the blister packs.
