Has the "Understand Generics" campaign been concluded? Have questions arisen about it continuing?
On the point made by Senator Colm Burke, people who visit my clinic and my office in Cork which is a very small place use the term "mockya drugs". I have come across individuals who will refuse to purchase an alternative drug because it is not what they are used to taking. Perhaps there is a need for everyone involved to consider how the campaign to which I refer might be pursued to an even greater degree.
