The Department of Health has
launched temporary arrangements
to help residents and pharmacists
in far north Queensland, who might

The arrangements, launched on

Pharmacists supplying
Pharmaceutical Benefit Schemes
(PBS) medicines to patients in
affected areas can visit a website
offering advice on various topics,
including patient entitlement,
dispensing medicines under the
three day emergency supply
rule without a prescription
and emergency relocation of
a pharmacy, as well as contact
