Lloyds announces possible job cuts

Max Gosney


Lloydspharmacy has announced possible job cuts at its Coventry head office to counter dwindling pharmacy funding.

 

The multiple has launched a consultation with affected staff.

 

Lloydspharmacy was unable to confirm how many workers were involved, but the final figure was “well below 100” a spokesperson told C+D.

 

Lloydspharmacy said the move was driven by “funding challenges”.

 

Pharmacy had suffered a continued reduction in government funding over a number of years, Lloydspharmacy said.

 

Lloydspharmacy md, Richard Smith told last October’s C+D conference that £800 million had been removed from contract funding since 2005.

 

The consultation process with affected staff will last 30 days according to Lloydspharmacy.
