Regulation

Why would we want appointed Council members?

From Mr P. Melnick, MRPharmS

This really is not funny. If I pay my money to join an organisation I expect to have a say in how it is run and who I wish to represent my views. What I do not expect is for its officers to be appointed by outsiders and certainly not by a department that on occasion might best be described as the enemy (PJ, 22 July, p97).

Discussions between the Department of Health and its appointees on the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Council would hardly make for a riveting and impartial debate, would it? So why would we want to replace our representatives on a relatively reasonably run Society by outsiders?

Perry Melnick
