THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has acknowledged the significant impact and achievements of former National Party senator Ron Boswell, who died yesterday at the age of 85.
Senator Boswell advocated for small business and regional primary industries throughout his career, creating a lasting impact on rural and regional communities across the country.
"His commitment to ensuring Australians - particularly those in rural and remote areas - had access to essential services, like medicines, reflected values that the Guild holds dear," a Guild spokesperson said.
"The Guild appreciates Senator Boswell's longstanding support for community pharmacy and his efforts to protect the integrity of small business in Australia.
"He was a steadfast advocate for small business and access to high quality regional healthcare.
"His belief that only pharmacists should own a community pharmacy stands the test of time, and remains the best model for Australian community pharmacies.
"On behalf of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, we extend our sincere condolences to the Boswell family, friends and colleagues," they concluded.
