We asked
The Government requires all Health and Wellbeing Boards to produce an assessment of pharmaceutical services in its area. The Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) reports on the need for and provision of pharmacy services in a local area. It is used by NHS England to make decisions about applications to open new pharmacies or to change their location.

Overview
The Kensington and Chelsea Health and Wellbeing Board is consulting on its draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for 2025-28 and would like to hear from you.
Every Health and Wellbeing Board has a statutory responsibility to update their PNA by the 1st October 2025. The PNA is used to help the NHS decide on applications for new pharmacies and changes at existing pharmacies.
The draft report assesses the needs of pharmaceutical services for the local population in 2025 and the next three years. It has been produced by looking at the health needs of the population, the current pharmacy network and its services, and a survey of public views on current services. It has drawn on research material and has been advised by a stakeholder group that looked at different aspects of pharmacy services.
We invite you to review the PNA document and give us your views on its research and the conclusions and recommendations drawn from it.
You can provide your views by completing a survey using the link below. You can also provide feedback by emailing: pna@healthydialogues.co.uk
Please send us your views by 8 August 2025.
Any information provided will be treated in strict confidence and will not be used to identify you personally. The information you give us will only be used for the purpose of this consultation and will not be passed to anyone else.
