Pharmacy reform before summer break: Lauterbach with new plans
Health Minister Karl Lauterbach is planning a pharmacy reform that has so far been a long time coming. The draft bill was originally supposed to be presented by April 24th, but now a date before the summer break is given. The draft is now in early coordination, with feedback from Finance Minister Christian Lindner expected. The traffic light groups and health politicians have not yet been involved and, like the associations, are waiting to be informed.
It remains unclear when and how Lauterbach will present his plans for pharmacy reform. Some critics may see the extension until the summer break as a strategic move to avoid resistance during the holidays. On the other hand, there is a risk that not all projects can be implemented quickly. Lauterbach has recently attracted a lot of attention through new issues without presenting concrete measures, which is increasingly causing criticism within his own party.
It remains to be seen how Lauterbach ultimately presents his plans and whether the pharmacy reform will be discussed in the cabinet by the summer break. The participation of the parliamentary groups and associations as well as a transparent parliamentary discussion are of great importance for many of those involved. Despite the challenges and criticism, Lauterbach continues to strive to advance his reform projects and gain public support in order to achieve his political goals.
