Cuts to subsidies will force 1,600 rural pharmacies to shut

Cuts to subsidies will force 1,600 rural pharmacies to shut More than 1,600 pharmacies in rural areas face closure because they will not benefit from a promised government financial package, leaked documents indicate.

Ministers are expected to unveil a large cut in the annual subsidy for community chemists in the next few days.

The cuts have proved highly controversial, with a record 2.2 million people – one in 30 of the population of Britain – signing a petition against them. The Daily Telegraph
