6.—(1) After it has published its first pharmaceutical needs assessment, each HWB must publish a statement of its revised assessment within 3 years of its previous publication of a pharmaceutical needs assessment.
(2) A HWB must make a revised assessment as soon as is reasonably practicable after identifying changes since the previous assessment, which are of a significant extent, to the need for pharmaceutical services in its area, having regard in particular to changes to—
(a)the number of people in its area who require pharmaceutical services;
(b)the demography of its area; and
(c)the risks to the health or well-being of people in its area,
unless it is satisfied that making a revised assessment would be a disproportionate response to those changes.
(3) Pending the publication of a statement of a revised assessment, a HWB may publish a supplementary statement explaining changes to the availability of pharmaceutical services since the publication of its or a Primary Care Trust’s pharmaceutical needs assessment (and any such supplementary statement becomes part of that assessment), where—
(a)the changes are relevant to the granting of applications referred to in section 129(2)(c)(i) or (ii) of the 2006 Act; and
(b)the HWB—
(i)is satisfied that making its first or a revised assessment would be a disproportionate response to those changes, or
(ii)is in the course of making its first or a revised assessment and is satisfied that immediate modification of its pharmaceutical needs assessment is essential in order to prevent significant detriment to the provision of pharmaceutical services in its area.
