Pharmacy Daily | Campaign continues

Saturday may have marked the end of the election campaign, but our campaign for a fair deal for community pharmacies continues. Our focus now shifts to the new Abbott Government and securing a commitment to address the shock changes to the PBS introduced by the previous government. Prior to the election we secured strong written commitments to community pharmacy from both Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott and Deputy Prime Minister-elect Warren Truss. Now we need to negotiate compensation arrangements that ensure the viability of community pharmacy into the future. There is just one week to go for our Pharmacy Under Threat petition and every extra signature we collect helps demonstrate the support we have in the community. Please keep collecting signatures all the way through to the 14th of September and then return them to: Pharmacy Guild of Australia National Secretariat Reply Paid 7036 Canberra Business Centre ACT 2610 The petition is a voice for patients. Every signature shows the new government how much our patients value community pharmacy.
