Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments (PNA)

A PNA records the need for pharmaceutical services within an area. It sets out:

  • A statement of the pharmaceutical services provisions, and when and where the services are available.
  • Details of planned or likely changes which may affect future provisions
  • Any current or future gaps in pharmaceutical services. This takes into account the pharmaceutical needs of the population.

The Health and Wellbeing board in Harrow approved the PNA for 2022-25 in November 2022. This is a statutory responsibility set out under the:

  • National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services and Local Pharmaceutical Services)
  • Regulations 2013 (SI 2013 No. 349)
  • and amended in 2014 (SI 2014 No. 417)
