Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

9.5% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.

47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.

Longer prescriptions are here
Some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months.
People with a 12 month prescription will still collect three months’ supply of medicine at a time, from the pharmacy.
Ask your doctor if 12 month prescriptions are right for you.
