The Pharmacy Guild has taken
issue with a story by Sue Dunlevy
in yesterday’s News Limited
publications, saying it’s “even more
perversely wrong than her usual
attacks on community pharmacy”.
The story cites a figure of
$340,000 per pharmacy over
three years lost off the bottom
line through the impact of price
disclosure, claiming that this
money has been “pocketed” by
pharmacists and could have been
used to fund hip replacements or
coronary bypass operations.
The Guild pointed out that
savings from price disclosure
have delivered billions of dollars
of saving, and pharmacists have
supported the policy even though it
has made trading difficult.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 28 Aug 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 28 Aug 13
