The decline of the independent pharmacy

Abstract

Over the period 1955–75 there was a national decline of 25% in the number of pharmacies, while in Scotland the proportion was 30%; in London the fall has been even greater — 30% in the shorter period 1963–75. A recent report by the Retail Outlets Research Unit looks into the decline of the independent pharmacy and their changing distribution. What follows is a summary of the report.
