The PNA is a report of the present needs for pharmaceutical services. It is used to identify any gaps in current services or improvements that could be made in future pharmaceutical service provision. Pharmaceutical services include:

• Dispensing of medicines and appliances on prescription
• Sale of medicines to the public
• Providing advice to the public on medicines, coping with ill health or general health and well being
• Receiving waste medicines for safe destruction.
