Business commentator Victoria Young

Victoria discusses two recent big developments involving pharmacy retailers - The move to scrap a $5 prescription charge and a victory by independent pharmacies in their case against Countdown supermarkets. A key argument the independents made was that the DHBs had been wrongly swayed by Countdown pharmacies' policy to waive the government's $5 prescription fee on most medicines. What does this mean for the sector and for the likes of Chemist Warehouse. Victoria also looks at commercial property trends. BusinessDesk investigations editor, Victoria Young
