In a letter to health secretary Wes Streeting, the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) has claimed that two-thirds of pharmacies are at risk of imminent closure.
The results of a survey conducted by the NPA found that at least 65% of pharmacies operated at a loss in 2025, with nearly half (45%) of pharmacy owners relying on personal savings or re-mortgaged homes to subside their pharmacy.
These closure threads are “blowing an enormous hole in the NHS ten-year plan before it has even begun”, the letter noted.
