Patient and doctor groups have backed the change, but pharmacists say it could hurt their industry.
Butler said 60-day prescriptions will provide welcome relief to consumers but it would also be good for the health of Australians.
“That is why every major patient group and doctors’ group, including the Consumers Health Forum, the Australian Medical Association, the College of General Practitioners, and the Rural Doctors Association, have advocated strongly for 60-day prescriptions.” “Which is why every single dollar we save is being ploughed back into the community pharmacy sector, re-invested into programs that allow them to provide more services to their customers.”Butler said he didn’t understand why the Liberal Party opposed the change and planned to try to overturn a measure that would benefit so many people.
