On 16th November, members of the Medical Department Pharmaceutical Staff Association (about 250) started working selectively in protest against the recommendations of the Standing Commission.

Representatives of the Medical and Health Department and the Civil Service Branch have met with the Executive Committee of the Association on several occasions in an attempt to persuade the dispensers to submit their views to the Standing Commission for further review. The Executive Committee however decided to continue to work selectively. In the circumstances, 27 dispensers have been suspended from duty with effect from 30th November under Civil Service
