- Summary:
-
This submission to the National Competition Policy review of pharmacy regulation has its origins in a research project on the community pharmacy sector that followed the Industry Commission's inquiry into the pharmaceutical industry (IC 1996). The Industry Commission had intended to submit that work to the first of the State or Territory National Competition Policy reviews of pharmacy. However, with the agreement by governments to suspend their individual reviews pending the current national review, it did not complete the project. This submission updates and builds on that previous research. The focus of the Commission's efforts has been on setting out the benefits and costs of the regulations that currently apply to the community pharmacy sector, and canvassing less restrictive ways of meeting the underlying objectives. The Commission presented an earlier version of the submission to the Review in August. The submission's discussion of price advertising in the pharmacy sector has been modified in the light of input from the Review and other interested parties. While the Commission has not had the benefit of the public consulation that is available to the Review, it hopes that its submission will provide useful benchmarks for assessing whether the current regulatory restrictions on competition are in the public interest.
