"Although this site will be closing there are seven other pharmacies in the local area which provide services for Haywards Heath residents, including three which are based on sites alongside GP practices.

"There are good transport links into the town centre and many pharmacies also offer a free prescription collection and delivery service which some people may find more convenient. People can search by postcode to find NHS services near to them by visiting the NHS website at www.nhs.uk.”
