Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board is inviting you to tell us about pharmacy services in your area. This is to help the health board plan for services for our patients now and in the future to make sure they meet your needs, using a process called a ‘pharmaceutical needs assessment’.
Your answers will help the health board identify if there are any service gaps, for example whether a pharmacy (also called a ‘chemist’) is needed in a particular area, or whether more pharmacies need to provide a particular service.
The health board will also look at the dispensing service that some GP practices provide in rural areas – this service allows GPs to provide the prescribed medicines to people instead of giving them a prescription to take to a pharmacy.
Looking to the future, the health board will look at what may change over the next five years and whether there will be enough pharmacies in the right places, providing the services that people need as, for example, more houses are built.
Your views are important so please spare a few minutes to complete this questionnaire. We estimate it will take you about 10 to 15 minutes to complete depending on how much you wish to tell us about your experience of using pharmacies.
The questionnaire is anonymous and any information you give will not be linked to you.
If you would like more information about the questionnaire or have questions on how to complete the questionnaire, please contact CTM.PNAqueries@wales.nhs.uk with “PNA questionnaire” in the subject header.
