Lloyds Pharmacy announced it will close all 237 of its in-store Sainbury’s branches and the full list of Sussex pharmacies affected has been revealed.

The closure, announced last week, has put 2,000 jobs across the UK at risk.

Individual branches will be put up for sale and the services will be withdrawn “over the course of 2023”.

“This decision has not been an easy one and we understand that our patients and customers may have questions about how the change will affect them,” said Kevin Birch, chief executive of Lloyds Pharmacy.

“We would like to thank patients and customers for their continued support and assure them that we are committed to providing a smooth transition over the coming months.”

The company said it is “working with all colleagues potentially affected by the changes and has underlined its commitment to support them through the process”.

Mr Birch added: “I am very grateful to all our colleagues for their dedication to our patients, customers and communities.”

The company did not say how many jobs would be affected, and said it is “exploring options” for each branch individually.
