The Health Minister has signed the Pharmacy Board (Amendment) Regulations.
This will allow for a practicing certificate to Pharmacists, which was valid and subsisting immediately before January 14, 2023, to remain in force until a certificate for the period January 15, 2023 to January 14, 2024, is issued.
A media release from the Ministry of Health said this will be done if the holder of the certificate has paid the required annual retention fee.
It said these regulations will be published later today.
The Ministry assures the public measures have been taken to ensure there is no disruption of pharmaceutical services in either the public or the private health sector.
The Ministry said it acknowledges the concerns expressed by the public over the failure of the Council of the Pharmacy Board of Trinidad and Tobago, to issue practicing certificates for the period January 15, 2023 to January 14, 2024 to Pharmacists who have duly paid their annual retention fees.
