This compromisation of data has been going on with the tacit approvel of the DH. As long as savings are made who cares if a few Pharmacies go to the wall!! Sign in to vote. Top

The PSNC need to immediately contact the DOH and amend the settlement agreement to include a higher compensation payment. Its truly astounding that if a contractor accidentally makes a wrong/incorrect claim, for whatever reason, then we can be put to the wall for fraud. Surely the PSNC need to the hold the DOH to account, because on the same reasoning, are the DOH being fraudulent or culpable. Maybe there is a legal argument to be had here which should be funded by all the bodies we, as contractors, subscribe financially to. Less rhetoric from the likes of Numark and more action (how many times have representative bodies whined that this is unacceptable, but the reality is that they cant force an acceptable outcome with words). Explore the legal route and at worst get a substantial settlement from the DOH. This is the only way the DOH will learn, otherwise, its the same old story, let them think they can urinate allover us.

Numark, Avicenna, NPA, IPF etc, need to combine forces and instruct a legal firm to look into possible litigation. I'm sick and tired of these bodies coming out to press and tell us what we already know. Lets see some action of substance. Lets explore litigation. Sign in to vote. Top
