The Pharmacy Guild of Australia has been accused of falsely claiming that a State Government’s independent report into health reform made an explicit call for the expansion of pharmacist prescribing.

Last week, Queensland Health published Unleashing the Potential: An Open and Equitable Health System, an expert report outlining proposals for revamping the state’s health system in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
