The QCPP policy on the development of new Standards which relate to a service to be performed is as follows:

1. The service must be available to all pharmacies.

2. The Standard will not be introduced until all aspects of the remuneration available to perform the service have been finalised.

3. The proponents of the new Standard will need to pay to the QCP Division an amount of $10,000 to cover the cost of the Division's work in the development of the new Standard and its accompanying material (Team Standard or Reference Manual support material). Printing of the Standard and its accompanying material, and distribution to all QCPP members, will also need to be met by the proponent.

4. The development of any professional practice components of new Standards will involve the PSA under appropriate remuneration arrangements.

5. The proponents of the new Standard will need to cover the costs of developing an appropriate industry launch and information campaign, or pay to the Guild an amount to be negotiated (in the order of $50,000) to cover the costs of such.

Ratified by the QCPP Policy Committee on 26 November 2001 and further refined on 7 May 2002.
