Pharmacies need to get a clearer role in the healthcare chain and be able to provide pharmaceutical services throughout the country, according to The Moderate Party is not mentioned, only S is mentioned which likely refers to another party, a translation to english would be: according to S.
It's about the state going in and financing pharmacies so that they can offer services such as medication conversations and inhalation guidance to relieve healthcare. Successful attempts have been made and should be taken further, according to the party.
In the long run, pharmacists should be able to get the opportunity to prescribe simpler medications, such as antibiotics for an uncomplicated urinary tract infection or migraine medication.
There is an underutilized expertise at pharmacies that we believe could relieve Swedish healthcare, says Fredrik Lundh Sammeli (S), social policy spokesperson.
The party believes that a total review of the market is needed to increase control and accessibility. S wants proposals that regulate the market better, such as penalty fees during supervision of pharmacies, to be implemented.
At the same time, they do not want pharmacies to be controlled by "short-term profit interests". Sammeli does not rule out that the state takes back the entire responsibility for the pharmacy market, but an investigation must look into the matter first in such cases.
If one sees that it is better to have a completely state-owned pharmacy sector, then we have to look into it, he says.
