Rutland County Council has launched a survey asking local people to give their views on pharmacy services. 

Every three years, assessments are carried out across the country to gauge how well local pharmaceutical services are serving the needs of residents. 

The survey, which will run until 4th April 2025, will help the local NHS manage and make more informed decisions about requests from pharmacists or pharmacy businesses to set up new community pharmacies, merge businesses or move premises in Rutland. They also hope to better understand the accessibility and effectiveness of the service that are being delivered and also look for areas where there could be future improvements. 

The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment is being carried out by Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council and Rutland County Council and will be running until Friday 4th April 2025. To contribute to the survey, visit the survey page on the Rutland County Council website or call 0116 305 8846.
