Residents in Ferniegair, Hamilton, are being invited to give their views on whether they feel they have adequate access to NHS pharmacy services in their area.
Ferniegair Pharmacy Ltd would like to apply to NHS Lanarkshire to open a new pharmacy offering the full range of NHS pharmaceutical services at a unit in Allanton Gardens, Ferniegair.
They hope to offer services to people in the area during the hours of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8.30am–6pm; Thursday 8.30am–7pm; Saturday 9am–5pm and Sunday 11am–2pm.
Before an application can be made, however, regulations require that NHS Lanarkshire and Ferniegair Pharmacy Ltd carry out a joint consultation to seek the views of local people on whether they feel they already have adequate access to NHS pharmacy services in the area and gauge the level of support for the proposal.
NHS Lanarkshire primary care improvement and development manager Gillian Forsyth, said: "This is only a proposal, however, we want to gauge how people feel about it and the survey will help us capture this.
"For example, people will be able to record whether they feel they already have adequate access to NHS pharmacy services in the area or whether they feel there are gaps or deficiencies in service to the neighbourhood."
