This is a complete nonsense. There are well over 55K registered pharmacists on the register, and with no more than 12K working in the community sector.I would only believe this article when i see community pharmacies closing or changing hands for nil goodwill. The temporary closures and reduced hours opening is to portray a false scenario of work overload and shortage of workforce to retain as much profit as possible. Such scenarios are also engineered to hold the NHS England and/or the government  to ransom, and and extract and retain as much of the funding as possible. The contractors also use NHS funded Platform to provide private services at extortionate profit!!
