Greg Hunt rejects push for GPs to own pharmacies
He says the monopoly ownership rules have bipartisan support
Greg Hunt has issued a blunt response to GPs lobbying for the right to own pharmacies, declaring the issue has already been looked at and rejected.
On Tuesday, the AMA launched a campaign to dismantle the rules that prohibit anyone except pharmacists from owning a pharmacy, arguing they served little purpose other than to create unhealthy monopolies.
