Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate that. Perhaps we as a committee might look at writing to NPHET to get a view of where it is on this. Clearly, the Government will take its advice from NPHET so influencing NPHET is extremely important.

I have another question. It has been put to me by a couple of pharmacists, including a pharmacist I am friendly with who was a member of this committee in a previous Oireachtas, that vitamin D really should be distributed by pharmacists free of charge and that that is the ideal situation. Has the consortium a view on that?
