Minister Commends NI Pharmacists

Health Minister Simon Hamilton has commended local pharmacists for the invaluable contribution they make to local communities throughout Northern Ireland.

During a visit to Parker Pharmacy in Comber the Minister saw a number of services provided to the community.

He said: "We must not underestimate the key role of the pharmacist in the local community. The pharmacist is simply not there to dispense medications. They are a key resource and are well placed to provide a focal point for the provision of health advice, information and services to support healthier lifestyles and well-being throughout life."
