In the example I gave, there is generic substitution. The inclusion of the clarity for which we have been arguing in this legislation will immediately deal with that aspect. There have been recorded consequences. It is hugely important not to wait for the Irish Medicines Board's review and decisions. There is already ample evidence that there is an issue to be addressed and one way to address it, contrary to the Minister's argument, is to place the exemption clearly in the legislation.
