Why are pharmacies under threat?
Thousands of local pharmacies in England are at risk of closure because of cuts by the Department of Health, according to a campaign group.
Pharmacy Voice, which represents high street retailers, says that without access to a community pharmacist, 1 in 4 people would instead visit their local GP.
The government says many pharmacies are located very near to each other.
