TO MY horror I have just received a letter from my pharmacist informing me that the government is considering closing small pharmacies.
I for one will be devastated by this idea of change to my life, because I know that I can phone at any time and talk to someone who knows me and the drugs that I am taking.
If my doctor prescribes a new drug that might react with the ones that I am on, he will phone me and discuss it with me.
This pharmacy will also deliver after hours if necessary. Would any of the big pharmacies do this?
My daughter-in-law is a pharmacist and works in six different places. She does not know her clients who pass through every day.
Please make an effort to keep these pharmacies open as their services are beyond price.
I have written to my local MP without any reply. I hope to hear from him before March 24 to see if he supports this measure.
