One of the things we heard clearly in the previous session was about the oversight of the supervisory body. I ask for the views of the witnesses on that, both in terms of the accreditation of courses and about the other thing that came out towards the end of the last session, namely, placements and the streamlining of same. The witnesses in the previous session said that Tusla organise it quite well but that the way the Irish Pharmacy Union does it through the union itself, which means it is more spread out on a national level.
