Context and Regulations PNA

This document outlines the statutory responsibilities of Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWBs) in England regarding Pharmaceutical Needs Assessments (PNAs). Effective from April 2013, HWBs must publish a statement of pharmaceutical service needs for their populations, adhering to the regulations set forth in the Health and Social Care Act 2012. It defines pharmaceutical services, identifies required information in a PNA, and discusses publication and updating processes. Key considerations for assessments include demographic factors, service gaps, and the diverse needs of local populations.
