E-DRUG: Dispensing drugs at petrol stations? (4)
------------------------------------------------
Dear Emanuel and all,
I think strategically you should not stress the issue of 'Petrol Stations'
per se, unless you have a really strong public-interest argument. Your
focus should be more on what your laws say about standards at dispensing
outlets and whether or not petrol stations meet these standards. You raised
the issue of distance between outlets, for example. Many countries use this
among their criteria for granting licences to premises. Also, Emanuel, you
should enlist allies both from within and outside pharmacy, if you really
feel strongly about this. Never fight alone, because of the possibility of
it be seen as a 'group/personal interest' agenda.
Best of luck.
