The North East Lincolnshire Health and Wellbeing Board (HWB) has been developing a new PNA for North East Lincolnshire covering the period 2015 to 2018 and the HWB is inviting comments on the draft document.
The North East Lincolnshire PNA is an assessment of the population’s needs for pharmaceutical services in the North East Lincolnshire area. PNAs are used by the NHS to make decisions on which NHS funded services need to be provided by local community pharmacies. The PNA will help NHS England when making decisions on whether to approve applications to open new pharmacies and will help to gauge the adequacy of current services and what future needs there might be.
North East Lincolnshire Council has issued a press release to the general media and via social media regarding this formal consultation and which can be read at
