Court orders HSE to pay for pharmacy chain losses in test case
The HSE must also pay interest on the monies involved in a case which was a test action for similar proceedings which are due to be taken by hundreds of pharmacies around the country.
The case was taken by the Hickey group of pharmacies, which claimed a unilateral decision of the HSE to reduce payments breached the Community Pharmacy Contract of 1996 and would lead to losses of more than €2 million annually.
