Share your views on the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2025
The East Sussex Health and Wellbeing Board has completed its first draft of its Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments (PNA) and have opened it up for public consultation.
The aim of the assessment is to set out the current pharmaceutical services available in East Sussex, identify any gaps in services and make recommendations on future development.
It will be used by the NHS to decide whether to approve applications for new pharmacies in the county, and by commissioners to identify local health needs that could be addressed by pharmacy services.
The deadline for feedback is the 1st August 2025.
