City Health buys portfolio of chemists

The acquisition will take the organisation’s portfolio of chemists from two to five.

Paul Hillary, the company resources director at City Health Care Partnership CIC, said: “This acquisition is a key stage in our continuing growth, as pharmacies are important to our service provision model, and more than doubling the number we operate significantly strengthens our geographic reach.”

Adam Barraclough, relationship director at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said: “City Health Care Partnership CIC plays a vital role in the community of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire, delivering a broad spectrum of essential health care services, and relieving pressure on local hospi-tals.

“It’s essential that key healthcare providers have the facilities they need to deliver the best possible quality of care.”
