THE Federal Minister for Health and Ageing has reprimanded New South Wales pharmacist Jebconss Pty Ltd for improper claiming of payment from the Commonwealth for PBS medicines that were not supplied at or from its approved premises.
This constituted a breach ofPBS approval, contravening Part VII of the National Health Act 1953 and was deemed "an abuse of its approval", according to the Minister's delegate.
A statement from the Minister this week said: "This reprimand does not affect Jebconss Pty Ltd's approval and it continues to be entitled to supply pharmaceutical benefits at the approved premises and to be paid by the Commonwealth for the supply of pharmaceutical benefits at or from the approved premises."
Jebconss Pty Ltd owns Pharmacy 4 Less located in Warriewood Square on Sydney's Northern Beaches.
