Pharmacy Bill 2010

Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 24 June 2010general_report

The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Pharmacy Bill 2010, which aimed to regulate pharmacy businesses by requiring registration of pharmacy premises and setting new ownership structures. The committee raised concerns about the bill's consistency with national competition policy, potential limitations on ownership, and the removal of the presumption of innocence in certain clauses. The report recommends the Minister provide further explanations to the Legislative Council.

Impact

Pharmacists, pharmacy owners, friendly societies, and the public are affected by the proposed changes to pharmacy regulation and ownership. The bill also impacts the Pharmacy Registration Board of Western Australia.
