Medicare should audit doctors for over-prescribing quantities

Doctor's wasting our taxpayers money by over-prescribing. There's no need to prescribe max quantity every single time and there is an option on the system to change quantity. 

- prescribing 50 tabs of Abbocillin tablets for a 2 day treatment. All they need is 8 tablets! 
- prescribing 2 bottles x 150ml (total 300ml) of Ventolin Syrup for a baby who's only taking 0.5ml three times a day for 3 days...... one bottle is more than enough

Such a waste of resources and money. *shakes head*
