Dear PBS, Sometimes I need to send a prescription to a pharmacy or elsewhere. If I generate a PBS prescription as usual in my computer system and fax it to the pharmacy or whoever else needs it, is the facsimile sufficient for PBS purposes, or do I have to post or otherwise convey the original that my computer printed and that I signed by hand as well?
