Pfizer proposals

Protest in the name of the environment

From Mr W. J. Parsons, MRPharmS

At present the pharmacy in which I work has two deliveries a day from my local wholesaler. If the proposals made by Pfizer (and likely to be copied by other big pharmaceutical companies) come to fruition, I may expect to receive as many as 10 deliveries a day. Nationwide, this will result in tens of thousands of absolutely unnecessary journeys every day with consequent damage to the environment. May I use your columns to ask every pharmacist concerned about the environment (all of us, I hope) to raise this issue with their MP and to oppose these proposals?
