David Quilty has spelled out some
consequences of the early price
disclosure policy in his Forefront

Quilty presents a case study of
a pharmacist who had to let staff
go, reduce local supply to a nursing
home, the cost of which made
the business marginal, as well as
reducing services to the frail and
housebound elderly.

just on the pharmacy and staff, but
on the local community and even
other local health suppliers such as
the local ambulance and hospital
which had to step into the breach
in an emergency setting at the
taxpayers’ expense.
