More infoConcerns are escalating over prominent high street chain Jhoots Pharmacies amid claims from employees that they're owed a substantial sum in back pay. Similar stories are coming out of Bristol and Somerset, where pharmacies have remained shut for weeks on end, citing a lack of staff. The North Somerset MP, who used to be a pharmacist, said the situation was "unacceptable". Mr Al-Hassan is committed to meeting with representatives from Jhoots Pharmacies later in the month to demand explanations and is calling on the NHS to step in to ensure patients are not deprived of essential medications. The Daily Express has reached out to Jhoots Pharmacy for a response.
