My Lords, the Government are on the right track in recognising the role that community pharmacists can play in public health by preventing illness and reducing the number of people turning up at A&E. However, is my noble friend the Minister aware of reports that some GPs have been unwilling to direct patients to community pharmacists, even under the Pharmacy First programme? Will she look at whether further action is needed to ensure that GPs work with community pharmacists to deliver services to patients?
