It is a legal requirement for the Buckinghamshire Health and Wellbeing Board, in common with the other Health and Wellbeing Boards across the country, to draw up a new Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) every three years to ensure that the pharmacy network in the area is meeting the needs of those that live and work there.
The statutory consultation on the new PNA was preceded by a survey in which we asked residents and other individuals about their experience of using pharmacies in Buckinghamshire.
Overall, the feedback to the survey was very positive. Of the 197 respondents, all but one reported a satisfactory or good experience with accessing pharmacy services.
The information gained in the survey was used to inform the next stage of development of the PNA, which then went out to statutory consultation from 14 May to 13 July 2025.
You said
In total six people responded to the consultation via email or via our consultation survey, they represented:
-
four members of the public

Responses to the consultation were considered by the PNA steering group before the PNA went forward to the Buckinghamshire Health and Wellbeing Board. It was adopted for publication at a meeting on 18 September 2025.

Respondents, including Aylesbury Town Council, suggested the following areas should also included in the PSPO:
- Vale Park as nuisance activities in the town centre often move into the park
- Jansel Square
It was suggested the following activities are removed as they are covered by other legal orders or are subjective and therefore not easily enforced:
- failure of owner or person in control to remove dog faeces
- parking without permission or authority on the public realm of Kingsbury and Market Square
- acting in a manner that causes of is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress
It was suggested the following activity be included in the PSPO as it causes a detrimental impact in the town centre:
-
failure to remove temporary structures such as tents, caravans or vehicles, for the purpose of overnight stays when instructed by an officer
We did
The consultation feedback was considered and discussed with Thames Valley Police. As a result:
- Vale Park was added to the PSPO
- Jansel Square was not added due to the distance from the town centre and as there is insufficient evidence to support a PSPO at this time
- the activities included in the new order were updated to:
- consuming alcohol or being in possession of an open container of alcohol
- public urination or defecation
- begging or appearing to be begging or any public performance for the purpose of begging
- the act of begging is deemed as either approaching people for money, or being stationary and asking directly for money or positioned on the floor to invite the offer of money or goods
- failing to remove at the direction of a Buckinghamshire Council authorised officer, Police Officer or Police Community Support Officer any temporary structure, tent, caravan, or vehicle for the purpose of an overnight stay or stays

We asked
We asked residents and other individuals about their experience of using pharmacies in Buckinghamshire. This was a preliminary exercise in the development of a new Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for 2025 through to 2028. It is a legal requirement for the Buckinghamshire Health and Wellbeing Board, in common with the other Health and Wellbeing Boards across the country, to draw up a new PNA every three years to ensure that the pharmacy network in the area is meeting the needs of those that live and work there.
The survey was open from 6 January to 16 February 2025.
You said
A total of 197 people responded to the online survey.
The majority of respondents chose their pharmacy because it was where their GP sends their prescriptions, was close to their home or work, or they were happy with the overall experience provided by the pharmacy. Nearly all respondents (96%) can reach their pharmacy in 20 minutes or less. No substantial differences or identified needs were found amongst protected characteristics groups in their pharmacy usage.
An additional survey was distributed through Patient Participation Groups to gather insights into participants’ experiences with accessing pharmacy services, their expectations, and any further comments they wished to share. 101 people responded to that survey.
Overall, the feedback was positive: all but one respondent reported a satisfactory or good experience with accessing pharmacy services. A few additional comments highlighted concerns about occasional stock shortages and pharmacies being under pressure due to the number of services they offer.
View a detailed report on the survey feedback in Chapter 6 of the adopted PNA.
We did
The information gained in the survey was used to inform the next stage of development of the PNA. The responses showed that there is good pharmacy coverage in Buckinghamshire, and people generally have access to the pharmaceutical services they need.
The draft PNA then went out to statutory consultation with key stakeholders. There were six responses to the statutory consultation, indicating that there was a high level of stakeholder agreement with the findings of the PNA.
The PNA was adopted at a meeting of the Buckinghamshire Health and Wellbeing Board on 18 September 2025.

On 25 September 2025, the Leader of Buckinghamshire Council discharged the Buckingham Town Centre PSPO with effect from 3 October 2025.
We asked
We asked for your views about proposed changes to school admissions in Buckinghamshire for September 2026.
These changes were:
-
updates to the county admissions scheme and school admission rules (also known as oversubscription criteria)
-
an increase in the published admission number (PAN) for two schools: Holmer Green Junior School and Tylers Green Middle School
-
a reduction in the PAN for three schools: Lee Common Church of England School, Marsh Infant and Nursery School and Naphill and Walters Ash School
-
an extension to the catchment of one school – Waddesdon Village Primary School – to include some of the former catchment of Westcott Church of England School, which closed in August 2024
The consultation ran from 5 December 2024 to 31 January 2025.
You said
Six people responded to us regarding the five schools changing their published admission numbers and the school extending its catchment area. The six people had mixed views on these changes.
Three of these people additionally responded to us regarding the updates to the county admissions scheme and school admission rules. One email was also received concerning admissions issues.
We did
Although some respondents disagreed with some of the proposed changes to admissions numbers and catchment, the very low level of participation in the consultation, despite it being promoted, reflected the fact that the changes were minor and considered non-controversial.
Because all the directly affected governing bodies were party to the decision to consult and agreed with the suggested changes, the very small number of expressions of disagreement in the consultation were not deemed to carry sufficient weight to affect these schools’ proposed changes.
Similarly, the proposed updates to the county admissions scheme and school admission rules were very minor and attracted only three survey responses and one email in the form of comments.
Some of the comments received addressed wider concerns than those changes that were being proposed. As the concerns expressed related to aspects of the admission rules that were not being proposed for change, they fell outside of the scope of this consultation. However, these responses will be taken into account when considering future changes.
As a result of the overall small number of responses the decision was made to proceed with the proposed changes, and a decision was taken on 24 February 2025 by the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Education and Children’s Services to:
-
adopt the proposed changes in the published admission numbers for five schools
-
adopt the proposed change in the catchment area for Waddesdon Village Primary School
-
confirm the county admissions scheme and school admission rules.
We asked
We asked for your views on proposed changes to our Adult Social Care Day opportunities and overnight respite service.
The consultation ran for 15 weeks between 15 October 2024 and 31 January 2025. The consultation was due to close on 7 January 2025 but it was extended to allow more time for feedback.
You said
We received 660 responses to the consultation:
- 464 online responses
- 60 postal surveys
- 136 email responses
We also received feedback from the events held:
- 110 people attended face to face sessions
- 15 people attended online events
The key findings from the consultation were:
- 6% of respondents overall agreed with the proposed preferred option, 92% disagreed and 2% responded neutral
- 38% of respondents overall agreed with investing in improvements to the centres proposed to remain open, 34% disagreed and 27% responded neutral
- 7% of respondents overall agreed with the proposed preferred option to increase overnight external respite services and no longer deliver services at the Council-run overnight service, 73% disagreed and 20% responded neutral
Many people expressed concerns about possible changes, key issues raised were:
- the location of in-house day centres in the preferred option
- the impact on staff and quality of care for those affected by the preferred option
- the impact of the preferred option on families and carers
- the travel impact of the preferred option
- ensuring sufficient overnight respite across the county
- cost effectiveness of the preferred option
View the consultation findings report (PDF 2MB).
We did
The consultation responses were considered, and the recommended approach was different as a result. Key changes included:
- keeping Seeley's House open to ensure a dedicated overnight respite facility remained in the south of the county of adults under 65
- opening a new additional specialist overnight respite facility for adults under 65 in Aylesbury to provide better geographical coverage across the county to this type of specialist service
On 9 September 2025, Cabinet agreed the following recommendations:
- the Council will run specialist support services for adults (ages 18–64) from four key locations: Aylesbury, Chesham, Spring Valley, and Seeley’s House
- services at three centres—Buckingham, Hillcrest, and Burnham—will close, but everyone currently supported there will continue to receive suitable care at the Council’s retained centres or other suitable alternative provision elsewhere
- a new additional overnight respite service will be set up in Aylesbury
- a request for an additional investment of £0.942 is made to improve facilities at the Council’s retained centres
- to seek a sale for the Burnham and Hillcrest Day Centre buildings through the council’s disposal process, including inviting community groups to purchase Burnham Day Centre, but defer open marketing of the Burnham Day Centre building for two months to allow community groups an opportunity to prepare a bid
Whilst Cabinet has agreed to the proposals, changes will not happen immediately. We are committed to working with service users, families and staff to carefully manage communications and ensure ongoing service delivery.

We did
Following the consultation, we compiled the responses and provided the summary to the Local Councillors (prior to the 2025 Local Elections).
A decision was to amend the following restrictions:
- Hazelhurst Drive - the proposed Limited Waiting was changed to: 'Limited Waiting Mon - Sat 8am-10pm 4hrs No Return Within 4hrs'
- Waivers Way - the proposed No Waiting restriction was changed to: 'No Waiting Mon - Fri 8am-9.30am and 2.30pm-4pm'
Buckinghamshire Council made a decision to make the Traffic Regulation Order for the proposals, including the amendments listed above. This decision was made in April 2025.
As of 10th October 2025, Buckinghamshire Highways are currently undertaking works to implement these restrictions. From 15th October 2025, the Traffic Regulation Order covering these restrictions will come into effect, replacing the expiring Temporary Traffic Regulation Order.
