Timely and full 6CPA delivery the highest priority for Pharmacy Guild
19 October 2016 - The highest priority for the Pharmacy Guild is to ensure that the Sixth Community Pharmacy Agreement (6CPA) is delivered on time and in its entirety.
A core objective of the 6CPA is to enable community pharmacies to transition from relying on trading terms from the supply of PBS medicines to delivering primary healthcare services.
The PBS Access and Sustainability Package that was negotiated in tandem with the 6CPA continues to have a significant impact on the viability of community pharmacies, making it imperative that the additional 6CPA funding to trial pharmacy programs ($50 million) and for new and expanded community pharmacy programs ($600 million) is delivered on time and in full.
