Most will be aware that the Boots™ Pharmacy on High Causeway will be closing at the end of August.
There has been some misunderstanding (myself included) of what the plan was for their exsisting customers.
Reading in detail the document.
I have made enquiries and spoken with the owner of The Independent Pharmacy (Mr Dell) and he has confirmed the following, which if I had read it in more detail does explain the situation although not obvious.
There is NO plan for Boots Chemist to re-locate to the ‘Old Nat West Building’ – that is No.2 Market Street.
In essence what is happening – Boots are transferring their ‘Primary Pharmacy Licence’ to the Independent Chemist, to do this, he needs to ‘close/relinquish’ his existing licence.
Once the new licence is in place – he then transfers his existing customers and
the Boots database into the new licence.
