o the pharmaceutical services that the health and wellbeing boards have identified as not being necessary to meet the need for pharmaceutical services but have secured improvements or better access;
o the pharmaceutical services that have been identified as services that would secure improvements or better access to a range of pharmaceutical services or a specific pharmaceutical service, either now or in the future; and
o other NHS services that affect the need for pharmaceutical services or a specific pharmaceutical service.
