A majority of locals in NSW rural towns want rules changed to allow discount chemists
27 October 2019 - A new deal with chemists is set to force the price of medicines up even though a majority of rural patients in NSW surveyed want the rules abolished.
More than half of the residents in 18 NSW rural towns have delayed buying medication for financial reasons and the rules that keep their medicine prices high are about to be entrenched.
Three in four residents in these towns want the rules changed to allow discount pharmacies into their towns, a new survey by Chemist Warehouse has found.
