Revoke the order mnimoniaki borides, which provides heavy fines for pharmacists to prescribe cheaper generic to policyholders, calls on the government by the Panhellenic Pharmaceutical Association.

Details announcement of PFS

Surprisingly learned out re the mnimoniakou Law Voridis forcing pharmacists to police their members to take the cheaper drugs.
We denounce the former Minister. Voridis, who three days before the election turned the decision in law concerning forcing the patient to consent to the cheaper drug, blackmailing pharmacists with heavy fines.
We support the implementation of generic, we support the rationalization of expenditure, but as health professionals we can not advocate the potential dangers of "mandatory" change of medication.
"Pharmacists will not be the policemen of the insured. This decision is unworkable and call the new political leadership of the Ministry of Health and the President of EOPYY withdraw, "said among others the president of PFS Mr. Constantine Lourantos. And adds that "and this mnimoniaki decision which pharmacists have recourse to the courts, it will fall on deaf ears."
We reiterate once again that pharmacists simply execute recipes and can not ever suffer the effects of brilliant ideas and proposals, policies Chapman.
The decision Voridis beyond predatory fines provided, impose and "mandatory" compliance products inventory at the lowest price!
Apparently escaped the attention of the former Minister, significant shortages of drugs for which there seemed to succeed puts them into a control.
As for the high fines provided, the answer is one: "You can not get blood out of a stone".
The new political leadership has shown its disposal for the overthrow of mnimoniakon provisions. It now remains to demonstrate and practice.
