Many pharmacies in remote areas aren't eligible for the regional pharmacy transition payments this year because they don't dispense enough scripts. This doesn't make a lot of sense: you're not going to dispense 45,000 scripts a year in a town with a population of 900. Will the government admit that announcements like the transition payments are more about political spin and don't do enough to help regional pharmacies?
