Pharmacy Guild

The Pharmacy Guild has serious concerns that Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora has not acted in good faith in community pharmacy contract review talks and last year breached its contractual obligation to properly consider reasonable cost-pressure adjustments for pharmacy funding

Like a real-life Frodo and Gandalf and the Fellowship of the Ring, leaders of New Zealand’s pharmacy representative groups have combined to form a pharmacy sector supergroup, but rather than battling Sauron, the Pharmacy Sector Leaders Forum will be advocating for pharmacists. 

HEALTH NEW ZEALAND Te Whatu Ora has changed its tune on a proposal that would remove harm reduction from the remit of pharmacies offering needle exchange services.
