The Company Chemists'Association believes that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's powers to increase pharmacist retention fees should come with a "responsibility to act reasonably and proportionately".In its response to the Society's consultation on the matter,the CCA also says that the Society needs to "provide more information about how it intends the fee increase to be used so that its members,and other bodies who may reimburse members' personal retention fees,see how the calculated increase has been derived".Consistent with this,transparency is a recurring theme in the CCA response:"The CCA accepts that the Council has a duty to act in the best interests of the Society,and that some parts of the budget,especially those that concern the RPSGB's commercial activities,must remain confidential,but it considers the level of detail provided to support the fee increases proposed remains inadequate."
