OFT report

Summing up?

From Mr R. D. Gillman, MRPharmS

Could the financial debate surrounding the Office of Fair Trading report be summed up as follows? Will the savings on prescription and counter medicines be greater every month than the professional allowance? I doubt it.

OFT proposals should be ditched

From Mr S. H. Shivji, MRPharmS

If the Minister for Health is still undecided, even after the furore caused by the Office of Fair Trading recommendation to abolish control of entry regulations, may I suggest he "asks the pharmacists ... he will be taking good advice" and ditch the proposal. As far as the Director General of Fair Trading goes, I would not have much confidence in Dracula putting forward proposals regarding blood banks.
