The present system supports a network of community pharmacies distributed across Australia. The cost of supply to government is one of the lowest in the developed world. The notion of basing the cost of supply upon the lowest common denominator destroys the tenant of universal access to the NHS.

What does this gobble-de-googch speak mean. The questions are circular in their intent.
The intent is to reduce the NHS to a the level of delivery without regard to patient outcomes and without regard quality use of medicines.

Just throw the medicine over the wall. Let the patient deal with the outcome of the use of the medicine.

The questions are framed in a biased manner. Indicating that the panel are seeking a preconceived outcome.

How can I agree when I am not privy to the other behind the government wall deals.

How do you expect anyone to comment on this without having a vested interest
