00:00No, I'm lucky that I rarely go to the pharmacy. So yeah, I'm not something I know too much
00:06about.
00:07Do you think that limiting pharmacy hours will impact the community?
00:12Potentially. I mean, my only kind of experience was during the pandemic of, you know, massive
00:18queues for pharmacies. So again, I'm not too sure.
00:23I haven't noticed it personally. But I think it is a shocking number that are reducing
00:30hours and expecting closures. So yeah.
00:33How would you feel about fewer pharmacies or limited hours of pharmacies? Do you think
00:38it would impact the community?
00:39I think it would because that's, they're handy, they're accessible. So that's the benefits
00:45of having them. They provide, you know, obviously they provide the, I can't think of the word,
00:51medicines and everything else, but they have another service as well. And local goods
00:55are things that you want day to day.
