Our next current petition is PE1492, by Alan Kennedy, on co-location of general practitioner practices and community pharmacies. Members have a note by the clerk and the submissions.
Members will be familiar with the crucial landmarks: the Wilson and Barber review, which was a first-class review of the issue, and a consultation by the Government. I understand that the consultation findings will be published shortly, and we expect amendments to be lodged prior to the summer recess.
There are a number of potential options for the petition. I suggest that we do not close the petition at this stage but instead defer consideration to a future meeting following the publication of the Scottish Government’s report on its control of entry consultation and its presentation of the draft regulations.
Do members agree to that course of action?
