In Spring 2025, Southwark Council asked Southwark residents and pharmacies to share their experience of pharmacy services in Southwark. They have used this, along with other data, to produce a draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).
A Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment is a structured approach to assessing an area’s need for pharmaceutical services provided by the National Health Service (NHS). The Health and Social Care Act (2012) transferred the responsibility for developing and updating PNAs to local Health and Wellbeing Boards.
The Southwark PNA provides a statement of need for pharmaceutical service provision within the borough, based on our local demographics and health profile. This mapping of pharmaceutical services against local health needs is used to determine whether new pharmacy services should be commissioned under the NHS (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations, 2013. The regulations also apply to applications from pharmacies to change existing services.
Southwark Council will collect and record your answers to the survey. They will collect and securely store your data electronically and only give access to people who are authorised to use it.
The survey information will be collated for statistical purposes to inform their decision. They will keep this data for the reasons given above and destroy it securely after four years.
