Rishi Sunak claims they are “investing more in pharmacies” - no you’re not.
On 9 May 2023 Barry Gardiner went on Politics Live to discuss the government’s plans to increase the role of pharmacies in health, how close the UK’s relationship with China should be, whether the arrests of Coronation protestors were justified, and how Brexit has changed the Conservative Party.
Barry supported the increased powers to the pharmacies, with the acknowledgment that you can’t expect an improved service while pharmacies are experiencing a 25% real terms cut in the value of their contracts.
