Pharmacy Guild Seeks Prescription Price Freeze

2GB Sydney Sydney 16d Impact 3
The Pharmacy Guild is calling on the Australian government to freeze standard prescription price increases until 2030. Mario Baroni of the guild stated that a freeze would provide greater certainty for millions of Australians. The group aims to keep the maximum price for a standard prescription at the $25 level established in January. The guild argues that this cost-saving measure is non-inflationary.
