No. It primarily addresses health care professionals who prescribe. It is acknowledged by ourselves, in the briefing paper compiled by the Oireachtas Library and Research Service and in the comments made by the Minister in the Dáil, that it might be necessary to broaden the scope of this Bill to include doctors, other prescribers, other health care professionals and employees at the higher echelons. Senior officials are obliged to declare under the Standards in Public Office Act.
