Who decided upon the additional minor ailments?

The Minister of Health requested a recommendation from the College in 2023 for additional minor ailments that pharmacists can assess and prescribe for. A list of minor ailments was developed by the College, informed by an expert advisory group, and submitted to the Minister of Health for consideration. In September 2025, the Ministry of Health officially requested that additional minor ailments be added to the scope of pharmacy practice.
