The questionnaire attached lists some of the concerns that pharmacists have identified. Please take one moment to complete this small questionnaire by clicking on the link – PR Questionnaire, so that the PR Committee can ensure that your specific concerns are addressed.

Personal Care Home Committee
The Personal Care Home (PCH) Negotiating Committee wants to update members on recent developments with respect to renewing the 1993 agreement. A meeting was held with the Deputy Minister of Health on June 11, 2003, at which time it was agreed that the negotiating process would proceed. A meeting is scheduled on September 19, 2003 with officials of Manitoba Health. MSP will continue to update members on all developments.

NIHB Telecommunications
The NIHB is having telecommunications problems at their centre (the network between Tunney's Pasture and the regions is experiencing problems). They are working to restore the system; the regions are making every attempt to take prior approval. The emergency dispense policy is in place.
