I think you are bordering on slander there a few times gillys. You clearly don't have much of an understanding of this industry. A big factor in why 1700 pharmacies are at risk because they are price takers...they cant change the price on up to 70% of their business. the price of most prescriptions are set by the government ...this price would be the same if coles or anyone dispensed them. if they are such a great alternative why do they regularly sell otc medicines with no advice, no regard for patient safety or the appropriateness of what they are selling? do you know how many times a day a pharmacy will refuse to sell a requested product because it is not in the patients interest? i can tell you its many times a day and even most if not all of the 1700 at risk do this... how would that fit in with the big end of towns KPI's?
