The pharmacies will open 2pm to 5pm as a minimum, with a number of them opening longer hours.

The handful that are not opening are because they have staffing capacity issues related to COVID-19.

Jack Davies, Chairman of Community Pharmacy North Yorkshire, said: "After working tirelessly over the past weeks to serve their communities, once again pharmacy staff are foregoing their bank holiday to ensure that their communities can access pharmacy services.
