Provisional Industrial Plan for the Re-organization of the Pharmacy Industry.

PURSUANT to the provisions of section 9, subsection (3) of the Industrial Efficiency Act, 1936, I hereby give notice that a provisional industrial plan for the re-organization of the pharmacy industry has been prepared by the Bureau of Industry, and that the following are the material proposals contained in the plan :—

1. The plan aims at safeguarding the public interest by ensuring that standard quality drugs will be dispensed at reasonable prices by, or under the immediate supervision of, qualified pharmacists operating in pharmacies which are efficient as regards both dispensing and service.

2. The plan recognizes that the retention and stability of individual ownership and operation of pharmacies in New Zealand are essential, though it is considered that this recognition is not incompatible with the operation of company chain pharmacies properly controlled in accordance with principles and conditions set out in the plan.

3. The plan recognizes that the relationship to the retail pharmacy industry of the wholesale druggists, manufacturing chemists, indentors, and representatives of overseas firms is important, but the operation of these industries is not brought within the scope of the plan as it is considered that the question of reorganization of any one of these industries should properly be the subject of a separate plan for the industry concerned.

4. The plan does not propose to introduce at the present stage an official drug tariff and standard dispensing fee, and to require the compulsory observance of same, although it is recognized that when practicable such a step should be taken.

5. The plan proposes—
   (i) To continue the present licensing system ;
   (ii) To grant licenses only to those persons or firms whose principal business is that of a pharmacy ;
   (iii) To consider applications for license from chain company pharmacies on their merits in common with other applications, having particular reference to the public interest and the social implications involved and in accordance with the principle set out in the plan, that extension of chain company pharmacy be so limited as to preserve the existence of individual pharmacy to a degree necessary to give adequate national health service ;
   (iv) To extend the disciplinary powers of the Pharmacy Board in relation to matters affecting the ethical and professional conduct of the industry ;
