We agree that the introduction of the CIP pricing system without full engagement with the pharmacy sector, and the errors made in prescription pricing subsequently, are unacceptable, and we call on the Department of Health to act as below:
 
COMPENSATION
Pay more compensation to pharmacy contractors in recognition of the additional burden caused by ongoing problems with prescription pricing

REDEVELOPMENT
Commit to developing a new prescription pricing and payment system, and confirm that pharmacy contractors will be involved in designing and piloting that system
 
TRANSPARENCY
Improve transparency in the current system in the meantime, with this to be led and informed by a working group of pharmacists and pharmacy contractors

September 11, 2011

The feedback from pharmacists across the country confirms that the current pricing errors are causing unsustainable pressure. I am drafting a formal request to the Department of Health based on the issues you reported this week. Email your local representative today and demand they push for a transparent review of the CIP system.

The momentum behind our call for a fair pricing system is undeniable and proves the Department of Health can no longer ignore the pharmacy sector. Use this energy to post the link on Facebook and email your local representative today to demand immediate action on these three asks.

Total mess. They never listen to the people actually doing the work on the ground. Absolute disgrace.

Pharmacy staff are completely overworked as it is. We dont need these extra errors making everything harder. Fix the system now.

Typical govt move. Making decisions that affect us without ever asking for our input. Pathetic.

How are we supposed to run a safe practice with these constant pricing issues?? It is not fair on us or the patients.
