Community Pharmacies
Please remember that your Community Pharmacy has been open and the staff have been working extremely hard all throughout the Covid situation. They have dealt with enormous increases in their workload, and rapid changes in their work practices, whilst keeping you and themselves as safe as possible.
Pharmac have ordered that all dispensing is done monthly. This is because supplies of medicines coming into NZ have been affected by the worldwide Covid situation. The monthly dispensing helps pharmacies to ensure that there is enough medicine to go around.
You can help your pharmacy by doing the following:
* Phone or email your pharmacy to order repeats in advance
* Please check your medicine labels to see if you have repeats, before you request a new prescription.
*Remember to pick up your medicines, the pharmacy cannot be paid by the government until you do!
* Please be patient, there is so much work going in in the pharmacy that you may not be aware of, most pharmacies are doing double their usual work with the same or fewer staff.
* Please remember that the message from your Doctors to say your prescription is ready does not usually mean that it has been dispensed, just that it has been sent to your pharmacy. Sometimes this will need a response from you to tell them which pharmacy to send the prescription to!
Thank you!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
