Central Bedfordshire Health and Wellbeing Board, which is hosted by Central Bedfordshire Council, wants to hear your views for its latest Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

Every three years, the health and wellbeing board assesses pharmaceutical services in our area to discover what people in Central Bedfordshire need and whether there are any gaps in what is being provided by community pharmacies and other services under the NHS.

The PNA will be used by the local NHS and NHS England to help decide on applications for new pharmacies. It is also a key resource that helps the Council and the NHS commission other services.

The Council are looking for views from anyone living in Central Bedfordshire or anyone providing pharmaceutical services in Central Bedfordshire.

Your comments will then feed into the final Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment which will be produced 1 October 2025.

The consultation runs until Friday 13 June 2025.
