Effect of permission
 (7) If the Secretary grants the approved pharmacist permission to supply pharmaceutical benefits at the alternative premises:
 (a) the approved pharmacist is to be treated for all purposes of this Act (except section 92 and subsection 98(4)) as if the approved pharmacist were, during the temporary supply period, approved under section 90 as an approved pharmacist in relation to the alternative premises; and
 (b) references in this Act to an approval granted under section 90 include references to an approval treated as having been granted under section 90 by paragraph (a) of this subsection; and
 (c) the conditions to which an approval granted under section 90 is subject (including any condition that is imposed by means of the Minister's determination for the purposes of paragraph 92A(1)(f)) also apply to an approval that is treated as having been granted under section 90 by paragraph (a) of this subsection; and
 (d) in addition to supplying pharmaceutical benefits at the alternative premises during the temporary supply period, the approved pharmacist may also supply pharmaceutical benefits from the alternative premises during that period.

 (iii) if the Secretary, by written notice given to the approved pharmacist before the end of the period that would otherwise apply under subparagraph (i) or (ii) or this subparagraph, extends that period by a further specified period—that period as so extended;
 (b) when the approved pharmacist supplies pharmaceutical benefits, after the beginning of the temporary supply period, at or from:
 (i) the affected premises; or
 (ii) premises (other than the alternative premises or premises for which the pharmacist is approved under section 90) that the Secretary is satisfied are in substantially the same locality as the affected premises;
 (c) when an approval is granted to the approved pharmacist under section 90 in respect of the alternative premises;
