MP urges action over struggling pharmacy

STAFF working at a struggling pharmacy chain say they are owed months of pay without explanation.

- 

‘There are more than 153 Jhoots pharmacies across the UK - including eight in Bristol - and many of them are reported to be battling crises including long-delayed wages, inadequate stock and unexplained closures.

One employee said: “Myself and other members of staff are waiting on two months of wages that the company keeps making false promises of when we'll receive payment.

“We've just finished our 11th week out of operation due to no stock being delivered in eight weeks and no pharmacist for five weeks.”

‘The firm has been criticised by North Somerset MP Sadik Al-Hassan who has called for the chain to be shut down.
