NHS Devon would like to hear your views about our draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).

The PNA maps existing pharmaceutical provision against current and future needs.

It will be a basis for determining future pharmaceutical service provision and market entry to support local health need.

The PNA must consider:

• The make-up of the population in local areas
• The health of the population in local areas
• The different kinds of pharmaceutical services that are currently provided by local area

High quality pharmaceutical services may then be commissioned by the Primary Care Trust in a targeted and fair way.

In drawing together the PNA the Primary Care Trust must consult with a wide range of stakeholders including the general public.
