Episode: Simeon Brown: Health Minister on 12-month prescriptions being available from next year
Description: More convenience and savings are being offered for those on long-term treatments. From February, people will be able to receive 12-month prescriptions. Patients will still collect their repeats from the pharmacy but will no longer need to return to their doctor each time for a new script. Health Minister Simeon Brown told Mike Hosking this could save patients up to $105 per year in reduced GP fees. He says it will also free up appointment space. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
