GOVERNMENT plans to cut funding for pharmacies will destroy the work that many are doing in the local community, according to a Shafton pharmacist.
Community pharmacies are under threat as a result of plans to slash £170m in funding and it is estimated 3,000 pharmacies across the country may close as a result.
But even those pharmacies which do survive the funding cut will be forced to seriously curtail the community work being done by many, according to Shafton Pharmacy Wise manager Sheryl Hyman.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
