Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages

 

2:00 pm

Mary Henry (Independent)

I raised this issue on Second Stage. I refer to subsection (1)(k) on physical characteristics. A pharmacist must make arrangements in order that he or she can talk to patients in private, if necessary. This could be very onerous on those who run small pharmacies. I hope there will not be retrospective retribution against those who do not have a special section in which to people in private. In general, pharmacists do the very best they can to talk to people in private. I would not like to see those who run small shops and perhaps have inadequate facilities getting into trouble under this subsection.
