Motion on Pfizer put to Scottish Parliament

A motion about Pfizer's planned change to its distribution arrangements has been lodged this week in the Scottish Parliament.

The motion, by Bruce Crawford MSP (Scottish National Party, Mid Scotland and Fife), expresses concern that the changes will have cost implications for the NHS, will be detrimental to patient care and, if other pharmaceutical manufacturers follow suit, will adversely affect the ability of community pharmacists to deliver pharmaceutical care to the people of Scotland.
