When a pharmacy fails NHS patients, (be it closing for lack of trained staff, or 'losing' prescriptions)they are 'in breach' of their contracts to the NHS. My GP practise have not been pro-active in what appears to be a continuing problem. The regulator - the General Pharmaceutical Council, only have powers over individual pharmacists (though they can close a pharmacy - temporarily - that is failing for some reason) It is likely telling that the prescription bags have been carrying a farewell message to a pharmacist and the branch manager.

I am one of the patients that has been affected by the staffing difficulties at this branch. I am very interested to hear of other patients who have been affected. I was advised to contact their HQ by my practice. A friend of mine was today advised to 'pop a note' into the branch door stating his query. I have asked my practice if they shouldn't be doing more to ensure their patients are getting their needed medications. Please let me know if you have been impacted?

Nothings forever, but you would have thought that Jags would honour their promise, or give good notice if they couldn't. Bad form.
