Boots Pharmacy – Good Communication
Late today I received a call from Mr Alistair Hunt – Regional Manager @ Boots Pharmacy™ – He spent around 20 minutes with me, explaining primarily that these costs being introduced were largely (you guessed it) due to government cutbacks in payments made to chemists/pharmacies.
Therefor in Boots case – they are rolling out charges nationwide (inc Scotland & Wales).
We did engage in the risk factors to vulnerable/less well off patients, and he stated that the risk assessments had been carried out.
However – he also stated, that there was an element of discretion available to the local managers, who identify the groups I have mentioned previously.
Patients in Care Homes will still receive deliveries free of charge.
One of my elderly neighbours decided yesterday to change pharmacy.
(no influence by myself), and found the system/experience very quick, easy and efficient.

NQS PPG Meeting
A very well attended Patients Participation Group meeting (open to all at NQS), brought up to date on various subjects, concerns and somewhat lack of engagement since The Lakeside Group have taken over the New Queen Street Surgery (or amalgamated).
I did bring to the attention of the group, the recent news of ‘Boots Pharmacy’ introducing charges for delivering medication.
Although I street this is not within the remit of the PPG, I believe as individual members – they should be aware and informed of the plan.
After the PPG meeting, I did visit the Boots Pharmacy, and my impression was ‘they’ were very much in the dark and also had late notification on ‘Boots’ intentions….
I am expecting a call for the Manager when they return to work.
There is very little (other than changing Chemist/Pharmacy – see my previous posts) that be done. I will make my neighbours/constituents concerns known.
Q/ There are many elderly who are on a very basic state pension.
There are many elderly who are on pension credit.
What provision is there for those in Nursing Homes.
What provision is there for those, who have serious medical issues ie dementia or
similar.
What provision is there for those say with Downs Syndrome.

Further Update on Boots Charging for Home Deliveries.
I have today met with the owner of Whittlesey Pharmacy (Market Street) who informs me that Patients DO NOT have to go to their surgery in order to change pharmacy.
If you/your neighbours/friends or relations do not want to pay the charges that Boots Chemists™ are introducing – The Whittlesey Pharmacy will do it all for you…..
They will need to know that you want home delivery and if your medications are in ‘Blister Packs’ – He also stated that a new pharmacist is being employed in anticipation of more patients and that he is holding 6 months supplies of all common medicines that patients are using (Brexit)….
