Government fails to adequately address medicine affordability for working Australians
29 March 2022 - The cost of medicines will continue to go up unchecked as the Federal Government has failed to adequately address the increasing cost of PBS medicines in the Federal Budget, a decision that has been criticised as a missed opportunity by the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.
The National President of the Pharmacy Guild, Professor Trent Twomey, said the Government had squandered an opportunity to help millions of Australians better access critical medicines, relieving hip pocket pressures for working families and reducing the burden of preventable disease on our hospitals and emergency services.
