Is there any way of speeding up the reimbursement process? Is that slow? Would that be helpful? Like everyone else, pharmacies are probably facing into difficult times with energy costs. We have already heard about increased transport costs from people who are supplying the medicines. At the end of the day, that is going to have an impact on the customer. Is there anything that the system could do to speed things up? It is about money in people's pocket in relation to these things. Can the system respond a lot quicker to pharmacists' demands?
