CALLER:
An interview today with Rollo Manning encouraged the Government to provide pharmacies in remote communities …. what is your notion on that to get pharmacies in communities ….so there is the provision of quality use of medicines….
COMPERE:
This is a story that has been around today …. about establishing pharmacies in remote communities that could lead to some employment by taking services out bush…is that something you would consider encouraging?
TERRY MILLS MLA, Chief Minister of the NT
Yes certainly – I have been at Ampilatwatja today …and had a very sobering briefing on the health issues …I heard this report from Rollo Manning and it does make a lot of sense. I will be talking to my new Health Minister to pursue this. Our core philosophy is to make sure wherever possible we put the decision making closer to the people that are affected by that decision. It does fit with my philosophy of allowing local people to be involved in solutions to their own problems in this case administering health and medicines to local people.
