CICPO begins the Court Process Today

From the Telegram today - with the complete story to follow in the paper tomorrow. 

The Council of Independent Community Pharmacy Owners (CICPO) made its first appearance in Newfoundland Supreme Court today to begin its challenge of sections of the Pharmacy Act and regulations.

Justice Richard LeBlanc has scheduled Dec. 2 for a full-day hearing.

At issue is a provision in the act that permits the Pharmacists Association of Newfoundland and Labrador (PANL) to negotiate financial contracts with government on behalf of the independent owners.

CICPO is also challenging a recent amendment to the pharmacy regulations extending the notice pharmacists have to give to opt out of the provincial prescription drug program.
