Blister packing is a service, separate to phased dispensing. Providing a service costs money, with staff costs (time, value) and materials cost. #liveline

@rtenews This is true, blister packing and phased dispensing are separate services.
One is State reimbursed the other is a private transaction between the pharmacy and the patient.
Some pharmacists don’t understand the difference themselves.

No apologies, it is a valuable service for people that need it.
