STANDARD IN DEVELOPMENT

Pharmacy services Standard

Committee: P8120
Project Manager: Carolyn Gay
Estimated Publication Date: February 2010
Comments: The Pharmacy services Standard is progressing well. A balanced expert committee from across the sector is working to ensure the Standard demonstrates that consumers are clear about their rights, and providers are clear about their responsibilities for good and safe outcomes. The committee met at the end of October to review the comments received from the public comment phase of the project. The draft is being updated to reflect the committee's decisions and will be ready for postal ballot in early December.
