Every three years Hounslow's Health and Wellbeing Board asks residents and stakeholders if the borough's assessment for provision of pharmacies meets local needs. Many thanks to those who have already taken part in the survey earlier this year which helped shape a draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA). You are now asked to review the resultant draft PNA and share your views.


Overview

The aim of the PNA is to enable local pharmacy service providers and commissioners to:

  • understand the pharmaceutical needs of the population
  • gain a clearer picture of the pharmaceutical services currently provided
  • make appropriate decisions on applications for NHS pharmacy contracts
  • commission appropriate and accessible services from community pharmacies
  • clearly identify and address any local gaps in pharmaceutical services
  • target services to reduce health inequalities within local health communities

You are asked to look at the draft PNA and comment on whether it reflects Hounslow's pharmaceutical needs. You can read the draft PNA via by clicking this link.


How to respond

Please read the draft PNA then click on the 'share your views here' button below. We welcome your feedback and ask that you provide your comments on the assessment by 5pm 27 April 2025.

If you would like to request an accessible version of this consultation such as large print, Easy Read or Braille, or you would like a paper copy sent to you please email ann.phillips@hounslow.gov.uk or call 020 8583 2000.


Processing responses

All responses and respondent details are anonymous. Any information provided will be kept in line with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The information will be held securely and used for the purpose of planning appropriate services for all communities.

Hounslow's Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) has commissioned this consultation. The HWB is run by the Council and includes NHS and other partners. The overall responses of the consultation, including some of the comments noted, will be shared with the members of the HWB but they will not see the individual consultation responses.

The HWB has commissioned Soar Beyond, a specialist organisation which leads on development of PNAs, to develop and assess the consultation. All submissions will be shared with Soar Beyond solely for the purpose of analysing the PNA.


Next steps

The HWB will consider and sign off the PNA in mid-July 2025 and it will be published by 1 October 2025. A link to the final PNA will be published on this webpage.
