Pharmacy+Health at Green Lane offered a needle exchange programme
which has not been transferred to the new premises at Cornlands
Road, in addition to prescription and pharmacy first
services.
The former Priory Pharmacy operated on a 100-hour pharmacy and
provided extended opening hours Monday-Sunday at a weekly total of
79 hours. This included a five 12-hour shifts in the week and 21
hours at the weekend. The revised hours have seen weekday opening
hours reducing by 29%, and an 81% reduction in weekend hours -
operational hours being on Saturday only 09:00-13:00. There is no
other pharmacy provision in the area that covers Saturday
afternoons and Sundays.
It is our view that the above changes to service provision
constitute an unmet need for pharmacy services in this part of the
city, in line with section 8.2 point 6 of the current York PNA
2025-2028. We recommend that the ICB considers positively any
application for the provision of additional pharmacy hours in the
west neighbourhood of the City of York.
