Background
I think the current law causes many delays and creates long queues when there is no need. The pharmacist does NOT check each script when it is collected by the patient.
I think this law causes so many delays and creates long queues when there is no need.
If a Pharmacist checked each script when a patient picked their medication up - I would understand the Law!
