Whilst visiting Tesco pharmacy today in Catterick the member of staff advised me that the pharmacy will no longer be functioning as of August 2023. 

This drastic change to the provision of our local service will impact on local people immensely! The opening hours of Tesco pharmacy are much more flexible than that of the other pharmacy on the garrison. Tesco pharmacy opens at 6.30 and closes at 22.30 where as the other pharmacy operates 9.00-17.00 this making Tesco easier accessed by people who work or rely on people who work to collect there medications. 

As well as the opening hours there is also convenience and physical accessibility. Tesco is much more user friendly in terms of parking. Tesco caterers for blue badge and child and parent parking and can also reduce the amount of times you are in and out of the car as you can collect your medications whilst doing the food shopping. 

If Tesco pharmacy closes in August 2023 it will mean that anyone wanting to access a prescription before 9.00 or after 17.00 will have to travel to Northallerton or Darlington. 

Please sign this petition to see if we can make the change to KEEP TESCO (CATTERICK) PHARMACY!
