Cat Smith Working for Lancaster and Wyre

Like many of you, I was alarmed to hear that Cohens Chemist on Ullswater Road in Lancaster has announced that it is planning to close – not least as it’s also my own local pharmacy!
Pharmacies play a vital role in our communities, and after a decade of underfunding and immense pressures on our NHS services, we rely on our pharmacies even more for accessible face-to-face community-based healthcare advice.
I have written to the Director of the Cohens group to explain just how integral the Cohens Chemist on Ullswater Road is to local residents, and to ask if other providers have been approached to help maintain the service.
