Sussex LPC
Representing, supporting, developing and promoting 288 NHS community pharmacies across Sussex.
Sussex LPC works locally with the Integrated Care Systems (ICS’s), local authorities and other healthcare professionals to help plan healthcare services.
We negotiate and discuss pharmacy services with commissioners and give advice to community pharmacy contractors and others wanting to know more about local pharmacy.
LPCs are not responsible for service commissioning in any way, but they can provide support and advice about services.
LPCs are not allowed to hold a contract on behalf of pharmacies (e.g. a stop smoking service), however, they can facilitate the setup of a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) of interested pharmacies to work together to bid for services.
The Committee is recognised by NHS England under the provisions of section 167 of the Act as representative of the pharmacy contractors in the area(s) of the following Health and Wellbeing Boards: –
- Brighton and Hove Health & Wellbeing Board
- East Sussex Health & Wellbeing Board
- West Sussex Health & Wellbeing Board
Consultation – the LPC is a statutory body, recognised by Government, NHS England and Integrated Care Systems. The Integrated Care Systems are required to consult with LPCs but not required to act on that consultation. As the services that can be provided by pharmacy extends to those that may be commissioned by other commissioners including Local Authorities, the Committee will seek to gain recognition as the representative body for pharmacy contractors by building strong relationships with these other organisations.
The work of the LPC is governed by committee. Members are either elected or nominated to join the committee to represent contractors (‘pharmacy owners’) views. Members do not get paid; however, they can claim expenses and locum fees for attending meetings.
Community Pharmacy Surrey and Sussex actively promotes and strives to adhere to the Nolan principles which are the basis of the ethical standards expected of public office holders. In 2023, all members of our two LPCs have agreed to adhere to these principles.
