摘要

Economic analysis shows that the preferred option for modernising regulation and leadership in the pharmacy profession is to have "a royal college evolving from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and other expertise" when the General Pharmaceutical Council is set up.The additional annual cost of running the two proposed organisations over and above the current costs of the Society are put at pound3.2m if they work closely together but carry out the same functions as at present.
