Cutler to Introduce Legislation Expanding Access to Donated Prescription Drugs
HARRISBURG – House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) announced Wednesday he plans to introduce legislation to expand access to donated prescription drugs in Pennsylvania.
Currently, Pennsylvania’s Cancer Drug Repository Program only allows healthcare facilities and physicians’ offices to donate unused cancer medications to pharmacies participating in the repository program. The program is overseen by the State Board of Pharmacy and, currently, only two pharmacies are enrolled to receive donated prescription drugs as part of the program.
The legislation, first introduced by Cutler in 2018, would expand the current Cancer Drug Repository Program to allow both healthcare facilities and individuals to donate prescription drugs (other than cancer drugs) to the program.
