OFT response to Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform announcement on pharmacies

17 July 2003

John Vickers, OFT Chairman said:

'While some liberalisation is better than no liberalisation, we see this as a missed opportunity. The pharmacy entry rules do not just impede competition and reduce benefits for consumers, they block new and better ways of delivering medicines to the public. Restrictive regulation should not stand between patients and pharmacists.'
