‘No basis’ for pharmacy guild’s medicine shortage claims: Professor Michael Kidd
The government's battle with the pharmacy guild continues.
The Federal Government says new advice from the PBAC and former RACGP president Professor Michael Kidd supports its decision to let GPs write double-length scripts for 325 medicines.
Last week’s federal budget locked in the government’s plan to save $1.2 billion over five years by letting patients collect 60 days’ supply of common PBS drugs at once, therefore cutting the dispensing fees paid to pharmacists.
