From ANDREW KING
I was most surprised to read your Comment (13 February) suggesting pharmacists
are unsuited for counselling patients to give up smoking.
I can think of no one better suited, in fact. Pharmacists are the health
professionals who can be approached daily by the public at any time and
without any appointment; not so with doctors. Their training in health care
is excellent and this is why the government has quite correctly decided
that they should be utilised exactly for this kind of work.
