YOU ARE KILLING COMMUNITY PHARMACIES!
With 60 Day Dispense, patients will eventually be worse off when their community pharmacies are forced to offer less services and opening hours! RUSHED BAD DECISION!!
Budget 2023.
We’re tripling the bulk billing incentive - the largest ever increase in the history of Medicare.
This will help GPs provide free consultations to over 11 million Australians.
@ Mark Butler MP (health minister)
YOU ARE DESTROYING COMMUNITY PHARMACY!
60 Day Dispense will eventually leave patients worse off… not only through medications misadventures and shortages but also with less services/opening hours offered by their community pharmacies.
@AlexanderWongAU@QandA Misleading because 2 third of the save is not going back to pharmacies rather initially saved by patients then paid back by them because their safety net will be delayed (reached much later than usual time)
@QandA Need to explain to minister Butler the difference between profits and sales (turnover) he speaks of community pharmacy would make a 100 billion over 4 years (if he does not introduce the changes) in fact they figure is sales before taking out cost of goods or any expenses…
