This PSNC Briefing provides a summary of the key points in the White Paper, and an associated NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE&I) document – Legislating for Integrated Care Systems: five recommendations to Government and Parliament – which are of relevance to community pharmacy and the potential implications for the sector.
