I asked if the PSI could refer to the pharmacologist-pharmacist argument and the matter of GPs. There are questions there. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien spoke about there being two processes, and I agree with him on that. This is about the two processes. My concern is on medicinal matters. How can we help people? What is the best way to expedite this process for people who require treatment? I firmly believe we have to maintain the regulatory framework we have in this country to protect public health.
