Two local pharmacies are going to be impacted by the loss of a pharmaceutical contract.
MediSystems is in the process of taking over the contract for personal care homes in Prairie Mountain Health.
Pharmacist at the Dauphin Clinic Pharmacy, Barret Procyshyn, has some unanswered questions about the deal.
“I also understand that there’s economics at play here and the government feels that they should try and save money on this. They feel they will save money on this Request For Proposal. I would still like to see how much and to make sure again, that there isn’t a hidden cost like extra shipping costs and things like that. At this point, I think MediSystems is going to go in there and do the job, I would just ask that everyone keeps tabs on whether the quality of care is good.”
The contracts will be fully transferred over by July 31 and local pharmacists won’t be able to provide any future assistance to PCH patients.
