I'm sort of pleased that the ENS has at least listened to the UK mappers, who used both pharmacy and chemist, and not imposed their own views.
Just as a supermarket can have a pharmacy in it, Boots chemist stores have a separate pharmacy counter. So could/should they have their own node? This would hook in to the FHRS where I think there can be separate records for the main store and the pharmacy counter.
