Brilliant news!! What we need is more dilution of the global sum. The fact is, as soon as more pharmacies appear on the map the more the global sum will get diluted. Maybe Tesco can absorb this but other pharmacies can not.

The government dont give two hoots about the Control of Entry protecting incumbents, but they care about how much funding is available. If more Tesco stores open, it will cost the government more money....therefore Mr (Tesco) Price....on yer bike, son!!!

Interesting to know how their questionnaires are formulated. Its often quite easy to get the answer you want with clever design. I also understand that shopping patterns are changing with credit card usage from 27th of month into the first week of the next month. Then there is the price of petrol. Much easier to nip into your local one-stop pharmacy.
Of course Tesco would ideally like a pharmacy in every one -stop or Tesco extra branch.
Superstore would be the start. Of course Adrian has too be mindful of all contractors when wearing his PSNC hat. As do I.

Hmm... I think this needs looking at closely; wanting it all, being pushy with governments, cornering customers into thinking; it all sounds very Murdochonian to me.
I would like to see Tesco's having 100 hours in a parliamentary enquiry to satisfy 'incumbent' pharmacies how the big players managed to:
Convince the Government to abandon RPM
Mould opening hours to suit themselves
Not comply with DDA laws when MDS's are requested.
