There's one more week to have your say on the future of the Islands pharmacies.

The Department of Health and Social Care has a strategy to provide more services closer to peoples homes and wants to know if there are any unmet needs to address.

Officials add should extra resources for them be funded they want to make sure they're used properly for the benefit of everyone.

Residents can voice their opinions by taking part in the survey on the government consultation hub before the deadline on Tuesday, August 20.
