The furore is easy to understand.This is all down to financial loss not whats best for Castletown.The GPs stand to lose a fair chunk of cash if this pharmacy opens do they not. All this hype about it making it harder to recruit is just that hype.The patients having to go to Wick or Thurso hype it cant and wont happen. Remember the Gps themselves said its hard to recruit so WICK AND tHURSO WONT BE ABLE to get enough doctors to take on all these patients. Its already hard to recruit GPS to this area its been in the papers on many an occassion now.I dont know about anyone else but in all my years I realise this one thing when money comes in to the equation you see a lot of peoples true colours.THINK ON IT THIS WAY. tHE gpS HAVE IT THEIR WAY the pharmacy is refused.neither of them are spring chicks in my view so you are looking at them retiring in a few years. Then what? No pharmacy No GPs no service in the village to buy a bottle of medicine for a general cough cold. This service can run along side the medical practice the public should open their eyes to this one fact that no one seems to be noticing not even all the councillors this is all financially motivated the benefits for the refusal of this pharmacy being refused are for who Joe public or the GPs.
