Small pharmacy: We're 'crucial' to the health of the local community
Graham Phillips, owner of Manor Pharmacy Group (Wheathampstead) Ltd, tells C+D there is a "real risk" his pharmacy will close if his area team decides not to continue funding
Location: Elstree, Hertfordshire
Population served: Around 2,000 isolated patients who can walk to the pharmacy
Services offered: MURs, NMS, smoking cessation, emergency hormonal contraception, flu vaccine, delivery service. In process of gaining healthy living pharmacy accreditation
Mr Phillips says he was "absolutely shocked" by the negative attitude of his area team, who "basically ignored" his detailed application for more funding.
MP for Hertsmere James Clappison tells C+D the pharmacy is an important part of the local community and throws his support behind its funding application.
