FREE flights, accommodation and other incentives being offered by Central Queensland pharmacy owner, Christie McLennan, are failing to attract pharmacists to Taroom.

"It's very dire to be frank," she said.
"If you can't have pharmacists on the ground to provide those basic services, then everybody's healthcare is at risk."
McLennan said she has been advertising for a pharmacist to join her, offering applicants a four-bedroom house, two return flights from Roma to Brisbane and registration to a professional conference, since Jan, with no success.
