A government pharmacy prescription trial will be presented in 900 chemists throughout NSW, as in Queensland, where the country's first attempt was launched yesterday. The trial will make it easy and cheaper for women aged 18 to 35, with a prescription under the age of two years to access the contraceptive pill. Women will be able to receive contraceptive pill prescriptions from 900 pharmacies in NSW. "This is really a partnership and a connection between the Pharmacist and the GP," NSW Chief Health Officer Kerry Chaht said.Said.
