This preliminary impact assessment gives estimates of the costs and benefits of introducing the proposed policy of the GPhC being responsible for pharmacy inspections.

The policy is in response to concerns raised by pharmacy, received through the Red Tape Challenge, about the burdens on pharmacies arising from inspections.
