Good regulatory design: Assessing the regulatory options for the Pharmacy Council and Medicines Control
Welvaert, Mieke | April 2019
Abstract
The Pharmacy Council and the Ministry of Health have signed a memorandum of understanding to share information about pharmacist competency (Ministry of Health and Pharmacy Council 2019). Information sharing between the Ministry of Health’s Medicines Control (within Medsafe) and the Pharmacy Council can help both regulators better identify and address problems with the provision of pharmacy services by pharmacists. Other countries have an even more shared approach. The United Kingdom and Ireland as well as some Canadian and Australian states have only one organisation to perform the tasks of both the Pharmacy Council and Medicines Control. Should New Zealand take its information-sharing approach to the next level and combine both organisations? Or is the move to information sharing enough to achieve most of the benefits of coordinated regulation of pharmacists and pharmacies?
