Minor ailments scheme ending

Just been told by my pharmacist that the scheme ends at the end of March .

I wonder if that's just in your area?

ETA: CCGs commission the service in each area, following NHS England advice that the NHS stop prescribing OTC items, it appears there is less reason for the minor ailments scheme (MAS). I suspect they want pharmacists to continue giving advice funding the service from the sale of OTC products.

Many areas have already lost their MAS.

I've had a quick google and its in a lot of areas not sure if its uk wide .
