I accept that there will be a list. However, prescribers and pharmacists should be informed when a product is being taken off or added to it. Will GPs and pharmacists be required to go online each morning or afternoon to see what has been added to or deleted from the list? The list of various products to which we are referring is huge. In order to ensure there will be a full flow of information, when products are added to or deleted from the list, the HSE should issue - probably by electronic means - a circular advising dispensers and prescribers of the changes made. That would make absolute sense.
