Description:

Health Minister Andrew Little has recently suggested that pharmacists may be given permission to treat minor conditions to ease the workload GP's are currently facing. 

GenPro Deputy Chair Angus Chambers says that he has concerns about pharmacists being brought in to treat minor ailments, as it's unclear as to whether pharmacists have the proper training.

"Something that might appear minor to someone who is not trained could actually be quite significant, so we're not convinced this is a proper solution to our problems."
