Prescription for pharmacy talks: add consumers
17 May 2018 - The Consumers Health Forum will urge the government to ensure the next negotiations for the Community Pharmacy Agreement include consumer representatives.
The Government has left open the prospect of the Consumers Health Forum being part of the next pharmacy agreement as recommended by the Government-appointed Review of Pharmacy Remuneration and Regulation Panel, the CEO of the Consumers Health Forum, Leanne Wells, said.
“At a time when CHF research tells us that consumers trust pharmacists, value community pharmacy and want pharmacy services to be opened up to be more integrated with the rest of the health system, the Government has supported a limited number of the recommendations of the review to reform community pharmacy.
