Locations, accessibility and services provided by pharmacies survey
We would like your views about the locations, accessibility and services provided by pharmacies across North Yorkshire and the city of York.
Your feedback will help us produce our next Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) which will be published in autumn 2025. This report is used to shape future pharmacy services and inform local plans which will help provide good access to the services you need at the right time.
Even if you do not use your pharmacy very often, any feedback you have will be very useful.
The survey only takes around 10 minutes to complete and is open to everyone who uses pharmacy services across North Yorkshire and the city of York. All responses are confidential and will only be used to support the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment.
You can also pick up and return a paper copy of this survey at our North Yorkshire Council libraries – find your local North Yorkshire Council library.
In York, paper copies will also be available at

York and Scarborough Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust partnership agreement consultation
We're required by law to seek views on the proposal to enter into a partnership agreement between City of York Council and York and Scarborough Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust (YSFT), to provide sexual health services.
We believe that this partnership arrangement is the most effective way to provide the best sexual health service to the residents of York within the current budget. This change in contract will have no impact on service users.
We're required to consult on the partnership arrangement as it's a change to the way we've previously contracted this service, and we cannot sign a new contract until the consultation is completed.

This consultation closes on 13 March 2025.
York Unpaid Carers Survey
We need your help to understand how to improve support for unpaid carers in York.
We’re inviting unpaid carers, their families and friends, residents and people who support carers to take part in our survey and get involved in future discussions.
This survey is split into 2 sections.
York Carers Strategy Survey - Section 1
We're working with partner organisations and carers in York to develop a new Carers Strategy for 2025 to 2030. The strategy will set out our shared vision for improving support for unpaid carers in York. It will also describe the key priority areas and commitments we plan to focus on to achieve the vision.
Your feedback will help us make sure our strategy is as good as it can be, and that we are focusing on what is most important to carers in York.
York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Survey - Section 2
York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals Trust would like to hear about the experience of carers when visiting the hospital.

Survivor Voice Survey
We're capturing victim voice through several different channels across the city. We're hoping to establish a group of adult victim survivors to gather an in-depth local picture of some key issues within York. Specifically, we're seeking to gain an insight into the journey from the recognition of being in an abusive situation to then telling somebody else about it (disclosure) and then the process of accessing support.
