Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Ms Ann-Marie Horan:

Yes, I believe it does have a negative impact on pharmacists wanting to work in pharmacies and perhaps even on people becoming pharmacists in future. It is now harder for pharmacists for find locums. A higher proportion of pharmacy graduates do not want to work in community pharmacy and are working in hospitals and industry. This is not the only reason but it is a factor for it being a less attractive career than it was. My children would not think positive things about pharmacy after that raid.
