Since January 1, Victorians have no longer had access to any 24-hour pharmacies as cuts to government funding shrink the opening hours at local chemists.

Don't know how I just found this out, but I actually go the pharmacy a lot overnight to get scripts done and get medical supplies. Like what am I meant to do if I need to fulfill a script overnight? Seems like something as important as dispensing medication, at times life saving, should be available at any time so that anyone can get it. What's the next thing that's gonna be cut to save on money?
