Minister for Health and Medical Research Brad Hazzard said a special authority has been given to community pharmacists to assist people who canβt access their GP.
News Powers Includes
- Dispense medicines without a script
- Stay open 24 hours day.
- New limits on bulk prescriptions
- Ventolin can only be sold in single packs over the counter
βThis new authority comes at a crucial time for NSW, when we are looking at keeping our entire medical ecosystem free of red tape,β Mr Hazzard said.
βIt gives our trusted community pharmacists the ability to dispense when people are not able to contact their GP to arrange a prescription at a time when we want everyone to stay home as much as possible.β
There is absolutely no reason to panic buy or stock up on essential medicines, there is enough for everyone if we don’t be greedy.
