Good Morning,
It's been 2 weeks since the fire at Barry Roberts Pharmacy.
We just wanted to send out a big thank you to all our patients and local community for all the kind messages and thoughts. Also, we wanted to say a big thank you to all the medical practices and other pharmacies in Huntly for looking after our patients over the last 2 weeks. We know it has not been easy.
We also have an update from Te Whatu Ora:
For all patients that have existing repeats at Barry Roberts Pharmacy who now need a new prescription, Te Whatu Ora are going to reimburse the medical practices so that patient DOES NOT have to pay for the new prescription fee.
Our intention was always to make sure that our patients are not out of pocket and have the continuity of care they need during this difficult time so please see your Dr for a new prescription before your repeats are due and take it you a pharmacy of your choosing.
Once again, thank you for all your understanding during this difficult time.
