The battle about the pharmacists’ right to prescribe continues:
We believe any changes to the powers of pharmacists should be very limited, perhaps to allowing them to adjust dosages or renew a prescription without consulting a physician. We oppose giving pharmacists permission to assess what is wrong with a patient and then to prescribe medication. Pharmacists don’t have the diagnostic training of doctors.
