Every year, the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) issues a mandate to NHS England, to set out the Government’s objectives and requirements for NHS England to deliver, as well as its budget. It helps to set the direction for the NHS and to ensure the NHS is accountable to Parliament and the public.

This PSNC Briefing summarises the elements of the NHS mandate 2018/19 that are of most relevance to community pharmacy contractors and Local Pharmaceutical Committees.
