Budget recognises the vital role of community pharmacy
9 May 2017 - The Federal Budget has recognised the vital role of community pharmacy in our health system, with a package of measures which will provide certainty and stability for pharmacies and their patients.
The National President of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, George Tambassis, said: “The Government has recognised significant pressure on community pharmacies, and the importance of maintaining the pivotal role of the community pharmacy sector in delivering affordable medicines and professional services to Australian patients.
"We are pleased to have reached an Agreement with the Government that supports community pharmacy in return for additional services and reform," he said.
