Let me introduce you to Janet, Reginald, Margaret, Pauline and Bruce who has been a dear customer & patient &, as a pensioner, has been relying on the services of Mullein Pharmacy Carseldine for the best part of over 10 years. We offer FREE DELIVERY service to our patients every week on Tuesday and Friday and we also offer FREE DELIVERY service to the local nursing home everyday.
Currently we receive NO funding for this delivery service from the government. We are able to do this purely and simply from the revenue from dispensing which allows us to employ the staff, train the staff for delivery, and pay for the petrol and car service fees to run the delivery.
Community Pharmacy was there to care for our most vulnerable when no one else was available. And we didn’t have to charge pensioners because , despite the fact there is no funding for this service, we have funding for dispensing which allows us to deliver other services. And we’re happy to do it because it’s in the best interests of our patients & community.
The $3.5 Billion CUT to frontline Community Pharmacy won’t benefit people like our patients. They values the free services that we can offer them but the 60-Day Dispensing will hurt the them; the people we want to help the most. We may our staff may need to be reduce and we will unable to offer these free services no-more all thanks to our government Anthony Albanese, Mark Butler MP.
Be like Janet, Reginald, Margaret, Pauline and Bruce. They see through the Spin! Value REAL healthcare. Value your Community Pharmacy!
