Bolton's current PNA
The purpose of this Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) is to assess the provision of pharmaceutical services across Bolton and ascertain whether the system is appropriate to meet the needs of our population and identify any potential gaps in the current service delivery. NHS England uses the PNA to assess applications for pharmacies which wish to open or relocate to meet a need, improvement, or better access to pharmaceutical services as identified in the PNA
The PNA is a statutory responsiblity of the Health and Wellbeing Board under the NHS (Pharmaceutical Services and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations (2013) (Part 2).
