Thousands of pharmacies to be closed by cuts?

Civil servants started reports that between 1,000 and 3,000 pharmacies would close, says Labour MP Kevin Barron, who chairs the all-party parliamentary group on pharmacies.

He was talking to Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn and Conservative MP Nick Boles after MPs debated the future of pharmacies in England.

Labour used an urgent question in the Commons yesterday to warn the plans were a false economy, while ministers said it was too early to talk about pharmacies shutting their doors.
