How would you or your family and friends manage if Hopwoods were forced to close?
This article by the BBC today highlights the huge financial burden placed on Community Pharmacies in Wales these days.
We try hard to "hide" the pressure we're all under for the sake of our customers and community. If the government doesn't change something soon Community Pharmacies in the UK will continue to close but at a faster rate.
We urge you to contact your local MP and AMs and their opponents and let them know how important it is for you that Local Community Pharmacy is protected to be able to continue providing high quality NHS support.
Thanks
Team Hopwoods π
