Change the law so that Pharmacist Can go to lunch but Chemist shops can continue to dispense prescriptions. Allow Chemist to dispense already prepared prescriptions to patients when the pharmacist is not on site or has gone to lunch.
I think the current law causes many delays and creates long queues when there is no need. The pharmacist does NOT check each script when it is collected by the patient. I think this law causes so many delays and creates long queues when there is no need. If a Pharmacist checked each script when a patient picked their medication up - I would understand the Law!
