Revision as of 09:09, 10 September 2015

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Pharmacy aims to 'raise awareness of the profession of pharmacy and to promote pharmacists’ current and potential contribution to the health of the nation.'[1]

In 2006 it was criticised by the Times for not adequately disclosing support from lobbying or PR firms, which 'list only the name of a lobbyist or public affairs consultant, and do not specify an ultimate client. This would appear to be a clear breach of parliamentary 1985 rules that state: “Where a public relations agency provides the assistance, the ultimate client should be named”.[2]

The September 2010 UK House of Commons register of All-Party Groups discloses that Luther Pendragon act as the group’s secretariat on behalf of the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee, the National Pharmacy Association, the Company Chemists’ Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. [3]

As of July 2015 Luther Pendragon was still acting as the group's secretariat.
