Australian community pharmacy ownership restrictions have been in place for many years. However, it is timely to review these structures in terms of the Commonwealth Government's proposed changes to the health care system and the need for flexibility to ensure access of vital medicines to the community. Careful consideration has to be given to the advantages and disadvantages of regulatory structures that limit ownership to pharmacists, compared to non-pharmacist ownership. Other ownership aspects that need to be evaluated include the number of pharmacies one pharmacist should be allowed to own or co-own and the extent of control required on the location of pharmacies.
澳大利亚社区药房所有权限制已经实施多年。然而,鉴于联邦政府对医疗保健系统的拟议变革以及确保社区能够获取重要药品所需的灵活性,现在是时候对这些架构进行审查了。与非药剂师所有权相比,必须仔细考虑将所有权限制在药剂师范围内的监管架构的优缺点。其他需要评估的所有权方面包括应允许一名药剂师拥有或共同拥有的药房数量以及对药房选址所需的控制程度。
