The Irish Pharmacy Union has been in touch with me and other Deputies looking for PPE. Pharmacists go through a considerable amount of PPE every day. For example, if a pharmacist takes a telephone call, he has to put on a new mask afterwards. There is a significant cost to this. I understand the HSE had approved the funding of PPE for pharmacies and that it is on the Minister's desk but that no decision has been made. Will he update the committee on that?
