Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2022 to 2025 (PNA)
The PNA is a document that describes how and where pharmacies in Hull provide their service. It includes any current and future gaps in how pharmaceutical services are provided. The document is used by NHS England to make decisions about whether to allow new pharmacies to open up in Hull. It is also to approve changes to current pharmacies in Hull. It should be used by commissioners of services. This is alongside the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.
There is a statutory requirement of the Health and Wellbeing Board to draft, consult upon and publish a PNA, and this must be completed every three years.

Consultation on draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2025 to 2028
A draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment for the period 2025 to 2028 was published in June 2025, and a 60-day consultation on the draft document was undertaken between 25 June 2025 and 24 August 2025. We are aware of some changes to pharmaceutical provision in the city between June and August within the consultation period as two extended-hours pharmacies closed. The draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment will be updated to reflect these changes in provision, and information relating to the consultation will be included in the final report. The final report will be published in October 2025.
