Pharmacists in Ontario can now diagnose and treat 19 common ailments but they still can't prescribe birth control or emergency contraception.
”We would like to see that implemented sooner rather than later," Justin Bates, CEO of the Ontario Pharmacists Association, told The Canadian Press.
"I think it's a particular miss not to have emergency contraception and birth control" on the list of prescriptions the province's pharmacists are allowed to prescribe, Bates said.
