Our Plan for Esher and Walton constituency includes strengthening local NHS services by increasing the number of GP appointments available and reducing waiting times. So, it is great news that 151 pharmacies in our local NHS area, Surrey Heartlands, have signed up to the government’s new Pharmacy First approach.
This will mean that pharmacists can treat more conditions without patients needing to see a GP or have a prescription first, helping people receive treatment sooner and freeing up vital GP appointments in our local surgeries.
