A CONSULTATION has been launched over the future of pharmaceutical services in Essex.

Residents are being asked to take part in a short online survey at essexinsight.org.uk.

The poll is being undertaken by Essex County Council and cabinet member for health John Spence (Con) said: "Our aim is to understand what services the people of Essex want in the future, and how that compares to the services they receive today.

“The online questionnaire should only take 15 minutes, and I hope that as many as possible will consider this a good investment of their time.”
