Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion
Mr. Jim Breslin:
There is a question in any distribution system regarding the buffer that is held. We have a very significant buffer with medicines and we have always had that. We also have a significant buffer with medical devices. At national level, the HSE, on a specific product basis, might make a decision to increase the buffer for medical devices. That is where the HSE is, but that is quite different from individuals or even service providers such as hospitals, pharmacists and so forth making a decision on that.
