The setting of National Insurance rates and thresholds is the responsibility of the UK Government and the Chancellor of the Exchequer; it is not a devolved matter.

The Welsh Government is providing record levels of investment in community pharmacy. An additional £9.9m (6%) has been made available for the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) in 2024-25 which will take total CPCF funding to £175m a year, representing a 24% increase in funding since 2016-17.

We have also made more than £0.5m in capital funding available to pharmacies this year to support investment in automation, new private consultation areas, and reducing community pharmacy’s carbon footprint.

This investment will be used to address both the immediate pressures facing community pharmacies and to maintain momentum on our longer-term ambitions for reform, which are set out in Presgripsiwn Newydd - A New Prescription (gov.wales).
