Further Medication Barriers?

Date/Time: April 9, 2026 - 8:30 PM

Note: On April 9, 2026, at around 6:30 PM, I followed up on a prescription for prednisone and montelukast, originally written on March 31, 2026, by a medical practice on Howick Street, Bathurst NSW for treatment of my exacerbated asthma symptoms due to the unaddressed mould issue in my unit.

What should have been a straightforward process instead required six phone calls on the day of the appointment with the practice, multiple “manager” involvements, repeated requests for previous records, confusion over medication classifications, and my own attempts to collect the hard copies directly from the pharmacist three days later. This is for a drug I have been prescribed sparingly for over 30 years that I require as a standard treatment regime for emergency treatment. Despite these efforts, the practice still has not supplied the originals to my regular pharmacy for dispensing.

The practice is located less than 150 metres from the pharmacy. When I visited to collect the script, I was told it had been faxed, and the pharmacy was awaiting the hard copies. At that time I even laughed with the pharmacists about the “convenience” of faxing in 2026. Eight days later - after another visit about an hour ago - the scripts remain unreceived.

I refuse to continue with these manufactured barriers to access. All exchanges have been documented or recorded, and relevant evidence is securely stored online.

As it stands, I am still living in a mould-infested flat - an issue already detailed in a comprehensive evidence based report shared with all involved parties. The lack of timely response from the real estate agency, council, two medical practices, two pharmacists and more has now directly affected my ability to access essential treatment for the resulting health problems.

I wonder why?

I will not be provoked further.

If I do not receive formal acknowledgment and irrefutable evidence detailing the full circumstances of this situation - including arrangements for safe, alternative accommodation by written notice placed on the fence at the top of the stairs I share with my real estate agent by 12 PM, April 10, 2026, I will release all available evidence publicly. No further extensions will be granted. If this is done prior and an agreeable solution can be arranged then that would make sense for all involved.

Fortunately, common sense eventually prevailed, and the prescription was refilled, allowing me to secure medication in case I must relocate. However, I still have not received the original hard copies.

On a positive note, the flat has begun to dry out due to the dehumidifier being on for two weeks and the cooler weather. The mould-along with my symptoms-has somewhat improved.

Still, I have to ask: what other hospitals or agencies across the Central West are experiencing similar problems? Why am I being so blatantly ignored?

This issue will not disappear on its own.

Accountability is being withheld at the top of the chain of responsibility, and that is preventing a proper and transparent resolution.

Once more, to be clear: I require formal independent acknowledgment from whoever is overseeing this matter, together with a fair, healthy and equitable resolution explicitly supported by independent, verifiable evidence. I do not consent to further correspondence that is evasive, misleading or designed to obscure the issues at hand. Any further correspondence will first be reviewed by my legal representative before I consider it. Given my diagnosed PTSD and the ongoing psychological impact of this matter, I will not be compelled to engage with additional written communications that may exacerbate my condition. A resolution is all I require. This is none of my doing.

Note 1: I received an email from Ms Kylie Denyer from Bathurst Council at 3.19pm today. I am unable to read it.

On a lighter note: Accessibility improvements have been implemented from here on to the best of my ability. Yet to get a chance to improve my other sites. Get in contact if you would like to help. Luke.
