Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Discussion
Ms Anne Marie Seymour:
Yes. Medicines shortages is not included in the Irish Medicines Board Act at the moment. We are working on secondary legislation. We have engaged with the relevant stakeholders in developing the framework. The idea is that the secondary legislation will lay out the framework of what needs to be done. Then, every time a serious shortage is declared, legislation would not have to be passed.
