Pharmacies

In April 2013, Le Gresley announce a change in the fees paid to local pharmacies by Jersey's Health Insurance Fund. A higher rate of £3.40 would be paid on the first 50,000 items dispensed in a year, starting on 1 May 2013. He said this would help smaller pharmacies become "more viable".[5] The estimated additional cost would be around £600,000.

gollark: Just ignore all of them except, say, three you like. Simple.
gollark: Do you not like real numbers?
gollark: Anyway, assuming `result2.name` is defined it looks as if it should work.
