My questions relate to Government policy in regard to what pharmacists are permitted to do. There is undoubtedly an issue in this regard. There was great reluctance, for example, to permit pharmacists to administer the flu vaccine, despite such services being an obvious area of involvement for them. My point is that the Government seems concerned with seeking to limit their role.
