Pharmacies to offer UK-style health service?

Could chemists soon be able to give treatment directly as part of the Island's overall health system?

That's the question on the lips of Onchan MHK Rob Callister, who's put a question for written reply for Health and Social Care Minister Claire Christian on the topic.

He wants to know if a Pharmacy First scheme has been considered for the Isle of Man after launching in the UK two years ago.

The initiative sees community pharmacies giving advice and NHS treatments for some conditions which currently require a GP.
