Andrew Gaudin: No evidence to support pharmacy changes
DHBs are wanting to change the way the pharmacies work - so some can only give clinical advice, instead of being able to fill prescriptions.
Pharmacy Guild Chief Executive Andrew Gaudin told Mike Hosking the changes would completely restructure the way pharmacies work.
