Sukhi Basra, a pharmacy owner in central London, told This is Money that the Government's stance has left pharmacies fighting for survival.
She said: 'The prolonged impact of cuts to funding to community pharmacies in England have left us fighting not only for our livelihood but also for the very essence of what we've built.
Mr Kaye said: 'When pharmacies close, it means people have to travel further for care and the pharmacies that remain have to work harder to meet demand.
'Without imminent funding certainty from the government we may be left with little choice but to recommend collective action to ensure pharmacies can survive for the patients who rely on them.'.
Malcolm Harrison, Company Chemists' Association chief executive, told This is Money that 1,700 pharmacies had closed in England since 2017, with deprived areas often hardest hit.
