A move allowing click and collect prescriptions is being dubbed a sensible call.  

The Government's looking at introducing e-lockers for medication pick-ups, via Associate Health Minister Casey Costello's Medical Products Bill.  

Ministry of Health officials say it would benefit those who struggle to get to pharmacies during opening hours. 

Mangawhai Pharmacy Director Lanny Wong told Heather du Plessis-Allan such lockers are common overseas.  

She says a trial was attempted in 2023, but MedSafe shut it down because legislation wouldn't allow for it.
