00:00Hi I'm Theo and this is People on the Street. Today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking

00:03people about pharmacies and that's because a lot are closing. You know with the population growing

00:08as well it can be harder and harder to find a pharmacy that you can rely on, that you can trust

00:12and that's readily available near you. So we want to know if people have experienced those troubles

00:16or if it's not too much of a problem for them. So from a personal perspective I don't,

00:22I wouldn't say that you could, that there's probably issues. I mean it is a shame that

00:26independent pharmacies are closing down because you have to look at it from like a wider perspective

00:30of community. Like we're in a small town on the outskirts of Manchester like I think that's where

00:36they can get hit hard the most. Yeah I have had trouble like picking up prescriptions before

00:40which is a bit stressful like when you need to be on medications and stuff but I mean in my area

00:46I've still got one that's all I know. I was really surprised. It's very hard to find pharmacy

00:52actually. Yeah it's true, it's very bad. Yeah I mean we do have two in our neighborhood but it's like

00:57I don't know where they are. They work till five or till six.
