Pharmacy Guild declares war on the Federal Government
Plan to introduce two-month scripts 'calamitous', 'catastrophic', 'destructive', says president

The guild seems to have gone apoplectic after learning that ministers were planning to allow patients to collect two months’ worth of prescription medicines per pharmacy visit rather than one.
