CSU: Urgently protect pharmacies in Bavaria – there is a need for action!
In recent years, the situation of pharmacies in Germany has developed into a critical issue. In Bavaria in particular, the CSU parliamentary group sees the need to improve the protection and support of local pharmacies. This was made clear in a recent resolution passed during the caucus meeting. These measures are essential to maintaining universal healthcare coverage and addressing the economic challenges facing many pharmacies.
The Bavarian CSU parliamentary group leader Klaus Holetschek emphasizes the central role of pharmacies in health care. “We are clearly on the side of the pharmacies, which represent the lowest-threshold healthcare offering!” he pointed out. The resolution includes several key points, including increasing pharmacy reimbursement and measures to reduce bureaucratic hurdles that particularly burden smaller and independently owned pharmacies.
Important key points of the resolution
- Keine Apotheke ohne Apotheker
- Anhebung der Apothekenvergütung
- Maßnahmen zum Bürokratieabbau
- Novellierung der Approbationsordnung
- Verbot des Versandhandels mit verschreibungspflichtigen Arzneimitteln
- Keine Arzneimittelabgabestellen „light“ in Integrierten Notfallzentren
- Anpassung des Retaxationssystems
Pharmacist Carolina Trautner, who also belongs to the CSU parliamentary group, emphasizes that pharmacies are not only essential health service providers, but also make an indispensable contribution to the stability of supply. “The comprehensive supply must not be jeopardized,” explained Trautner, pointing out that economic burdens, such as rising wages and energy costs, are putting pharmacies under pressure. In fact, Trautner warns of an impending demise of pharmacies, which could jeopardize the availability of medicines.
The planned reform of the traffic light federal government, which wants to abolish the requirement for pharmacists to be present in branch pharmacies, is particularly worrying. Bernhard Seidenath, health policy spokesman for the CSU parliamentary group, is critical of these projects and fears that “video pharmacies” could endanger the quality of health care. This could endanger patient and drug therapy safety.
Last but not least, the CSU wants to ensure that medical care is not pushed into the background while new business models come onto the market. Imparting trust in pharmacy, which comes from personal advice in traditional pharmacies, is an indispensable part of patient care. Further information on the resolution can be found in the document provided. These issues highlight the importance of protecting the pharmacy as the first port of call for healthcare.
The details of this resolution are of great importance in order to address the challenges facing pharmacies in Bavaria and to make it unmistakably clear that the CSU is committed to preserving these important institutions. It remains to be seen how the political climate at the federal level will respond to these demands. For further details on this topic, read the article on www.presseportal.de.
