Authority in 1993. Located in a semi-rural area, we look after a population
of some 8,000 within a six-mile radius and have some special arrangements
for those in Binfield Heath and Shiplake. We dispense to about a third of
our patients (eligible because they live more than a mile from the local
pharmacy 'as the crow flies').
