Clitherpe Health Centre provides a valuable service for thousands of Ribble Valley residents, particu larly elderly people living in outlying villages such as Chatburn, Grindleton, B o l to n -b y -B ow la n d , Downham and Gisbum. However, new Govern
ment plans published in the Pharmacy • "White Paper could see the role of pharmacies expanded, but the end of dispensaries - including th e one a t Clitheroe Health Centre. At the moment, around
7,000 patients who live more than one mile away from a chemist can acquire their medicines from the surgery, but should the dis pensary get the axe these patients may have to make a second journey to reach the nearest chemist. Now, concerned staff at
the health centre in Rail way View Road, have launched a “Save Our Dis pensary” campaign and are calling on Ribble Val ley patients to oppose the : ^ ^ n s , which would result

the Government’s White Paper about the role of community pharmacies, but fear that proposals to prevent doctors in many rural areas from dispens ing medicines will have a huge effect on local health services. “We do not want to lose
any of our staff here at Clitheroe Health Centre, as we think that they do a fantastic job. Neither do we wish to stop any of the
services provided.” Mr Mileham explained
th a t the surgery.had recently launched a free scheme, by wWch prescrip tions were delivered to the doorstep of elderly patients who are unable to
travel to a chemist. “We want to make sure
that local people continue to enjoy reasonable access to health services, and for our. dispensing patients to
continue to have a choice of obtaining their medicines from the dispensary,” he
said. Letters are being sent
out to patients of both the Castle Medical Group and Pendleside Medical Prac tice explaining the conse quences of th e . plan. Patients have until November 20th to voice concerns.
- Dr Nigel McMeekin, a
partner at the Pendleside Medical Practice, said: “We really need the sup port of local people to keep - our dispensary open. Each letter of support will help.”. Our picture shows (from
