Petition wording
We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh government to save our local high street pharmacies. Our intention in submitting this petition is to point out the current anomalies of the present system of 'neighbourhoods' as they stand with regard to relocating pharmacies in Wales.
No pharmacy is allowed to make a 'minor' relocation as defined by the Pharmacy Regulations 1992 unless it falls within the defined neighbourhood
