Letter: Bitter pills for pharmacists
Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Sir: The Registrar of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain claims (letter, 31 May) that 'members of each profession should, ideally, undertake the tasks for which they are specifically trained'. Perhaps he can explain why our local pharmacist will happily perform cholesterol and pregnancy tests without training, when there is a fully equipped laboratory in our town hospital, staffed by fully trained (and state registered) laboratory scientists.
Yours faithfully,
