Making medicines dispensing more efficient

MariaPCC 14 May 2024

Local pharmacies will be able to dispense medicines more efficiently, the government has announced. Currently, larger pharmacy chains can take advantage of the efficiencies and cost-savings that come with centralising the dispensing of medicines. Smaller independent pharmacies are unable to operate the same model due to legal restrictions on dispensing for pharmacies under different ownership. The government will progress in making the central hub model universally available, allowing pharmacies belonging to different legal entities to use hubs belonging to other companies. This will level the playing field between smaller pharmacies and larger chains.
