Public warned about rolling opening times for Lloyds pharmacies

Lloyds is selling selected stores as part of a review into its community pharmacy estate

Lloyds pharmacies across the Isle of Man will see closing and opening times altered on a rolling basis for the rest of October, the chain has said.

Branches across the island will close at 16:00 BST and open at 13:00 the following day on various dates.

It comes as the pharmacy chain is in the process of selling some of its island branches.

A Lloyds spokeswoman said those using the outlets would see "no change in the way they use their local pharmacy".

All the affected outlets are to be run by independent owners or existing local businesses who would be "well placed to meet the ongoing health needs of the local community", she added.

The chain had been hit by staffing shortages in the past which previously affected the opening times of its outlets.
