What is the Welsh Government doing to encourage people to take up blood pressure tests at pharmacies?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health, Social Care and Welsh Language | Answered on 18/07/2024
Blood pressure checks are not currently part of the contractual arrangements for NHS services provided by community pharmacies in Wales, however some pharmacies may take a business decision to offer this service. As it is not a commissioned NHS service, some pharmacies (although not all) may choose to charge for this service in Wales.
