全国药剂协会的一份报告显示,英格兰农村药品严重短缺,过去两年87%的理事会地区面临关闭。 A report by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) reveals a significant pharmacy shortage in rural England, with 87% of council areas facing closures in the past two years. 许多农村地区,特别是西伯克郡,人均药店数量最少。 Many rural locations, particularly West Berkshire, have the fewest pharmacies per capita. 《国家行动纲领》警告这一趋势可能会加剧健康差距,并敦促政府扭转十年来为稳定药店网络和确保获得基本保健而削减40%的预算的趋势。 The NPA warns this trend could exacerbate health disparities and urges the government to reverse a decade-long, 40% budget cut to stabilize the pharmacy network and ensure access to essential healthcare.
