The 'Week in Review' - 15 March

The Albanese Government has committed an additional $3 billion for the new Community Pharmacy Agreement. The details are yet to come, but the statement and confirmed financial commitment reflect a Cabinet-endorsed Budget decision. Health Minister Mark Butler said he would now engage with "other stakeholders with an interest in the pharmacy sector to finalise separate arrangements". What do people think that means? We discuss that process, that the money will probably need to be found, and the underlying anger across pharmacies that has seen one group excluded from this year's APP conference.
