17. Supplementary Statements and map updates

The Regulations state that Supplementary Statements can provide updates to the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment only in relation to changes in the availability of pharmaceutical services. Supplementary Statements cannot provide updates on pharmaceutical need. This can only be achieved through a review of the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment. The following pharmaceutical services currently contained within the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment have been identified as needing updating. This updated information supersedes some of the original information within the PNA and should be read in conjunction with that document.

Consolidation of two pharmacies into one

The following pharmacy has closed as a result of a successful consolidation application:

Ormay Chemist (FPN89) at 224 Bexley Road, Erith, DA8 3HD.

The pharmacy provided the following pharmaceutical services: Advanced Services - Pharmacy First, Flu Vaccination Service, Hypertension Case-Finding Service, New Medicine Service.

These services were provided at the following times: Monday to Friday, 9am to 6.30pm, and Saturday, 9am to 2pm.

The pharmacy closed on 28 November 2025.

It is the opinion of Bexley Health and Wellbeing Board that the removal of this pharmacy from the pharmaceutical list does not create a gap in pharmaceutical services provision that could be met by a routine application (a) to meet a current or future need for pharmaceutical services, or (b) to secure improvements, or better access, to pharmaceutical services.

Following this consolidation, the pharmacy map for Bexley Health and Wellbeing Board area has been updated – please see figure below.

Supplementary Statement prepared by Soar Beyond Ltd and issued by the Director of Public Health, on behalf of Bexley Health and Wellbeing Board.
