Burgdorf: Pharmacists Worry About Emergency Services and Criticize New Law
Background
Pharmacists in Burgdorf are concerned about the future of emergency services and are criticizing a new law that they say will make it more difficult for them to provide this essential service.
The new law, which came into effect on January 1, 2023, requires pharmacies to close for at least 12 hours each day, including weekends and holidays.
This has led to concerns that patients will have difficulty accessing essential medications and advice during these times.
Concerns of Pharmacists
Pharmacists say that the new law will make it more difficult for them to provide emergency services, such as dispensing essential medications and providing advice to patients.
They also worry that the law will lead to longer waiting times for patients and could even put some patients at risk.
One pharmacist, who asked not to be named, said: “This new law is a disaster. It will make it much more difficult for us to provide emergency services to our patients.”
Criticism of the Law
Pharmacists are also criticizing the government for failing to consult with them before introducing the new law.
They say that the government has ignored their concerns and that the law will have a negative impact on patient care.
The Swiss Pharmacists’ Association has called on the government to reconsider the law and to work with pharmacists to find a solution that meets the needs of patients.
Conclusion
The new law on pharmacy opening hours has caused concern among pharmacists in Burgdorf, who say it will make it more difficult for them to provide emergency services.
Pharmacists are calling on the government to reconsider the law and to work with them to find a solution that meets the needs of patients.
