I support amendments Nos. 9 and 10. I do not know if the phrase should go immediately after "decision"; I would opt to put it in after the reference to the supplier of the item. The case is irrefutable. Maximum dissemination of information is hugely important. Prescribers and pharmacists are key players in all of this. We are talking about maintenance and ongoing amendments. Decisions are made in respect of either new medications or other medications that for whatever reason are to be removed. Strengthening and improving the legislation is a requirement. The IPU has made the case strongly in support of these amendments. The Minister of State should be aware of that from his engagement with it. The purpose of this is to help ensure maximum awareness and the greatest safety not only for those who are prescribers and pharmacists but, most importantly, for end users.
