在卫生部长马克·巴特勒的领导下,澳大利亚政府推出了一项政策,允许在2023年5月的预算之前为大约320种普通药品开60天的处方。 The Australian government, under Health Minister Mark Butler, introduced a policy allowing 60-day prescriptions for about 320 common medicines before the May 2023 budget. 这一变化使病人能够购买两个月的药物,以支付30美元的共同费用,节省时间和金钱。 This change lets patients buy two months of medication for a $30 co-payment, saving time and money. 尽管最初曾发出关闭药店和失业的警告,但该政策已显示出积极的成果,尽管药剂师的开销减少。 Despite initial warnings of pharmacy closures and job losses, the policy has shown positive results, though pharmacists face reduced dispensing fees.
