Community pharmacy

Difficulties

From Mr A. C. Ferguson, MRPharmS

SIR,-I, like all community pharmacy contractors, have received a letter from Lord Hunt, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Health. In this letter he outlines his proposals for generics pricing. I hope that all pharmacy contractors will accept this golden opportunity to respond, as I have done, clearly indicating to him the difficulties that we have been under throughout the past few months and the fears we all share for the future. A large number of letters will highlight the problem and may help the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee but no response will just tell him that we are all happy to continue to be exploited.
