About the Local Pharmaceutical Committee

The specific responsibilities of the committee, under the LPC's constitution, and finance arrangements, are shown on the Duties page. A copy of the Constitution and the Governance Framework can be downloaded from this site by clicking the relevant document or obtained on request from the LPC office. In brief, the LPC has the responsibility to represent all pharmacy contractors, whether independent or multiple, within its boundary in all dealings with other healthcare stakeholders to ensure the satisfactory provision of quality community pharmacy services as an integral part of the primary healthcare team and support for the management of change within that team.
