Push for pharmacy
Sunday Territorian, Edition 1 -SUN 17 JUN 2001, Page 004

The Tiwi Health Board will lobby the Federal Government for a community-owned pharmacy on Bathurst Island.

The board said it believed the Health Insurance Commission had delayed its decision to approve the pharmacy because of "undue influence'' from a lobby group.

Board chief executive Bill Barclay announced today the Board would call for Health Minister Dr Michael Wooldridge to instruct the commission to approve the pharmacy.

Mr Barclay said: "The pharmacy on Bathurst Island will be the first in Australia to be owned by a community-controlled Aboriginal health organisation.''
