Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2023: Discussion

Ms Anne Marie Seymour:

That is essentially it. In our current legislation, we can do much more than other countries. We can swap it out if it is a similar brand or if it is the same brand but a different quantity needed. This will be for when there is no other alternative available but there is a medicine that can deliver the same result. It is allowing pharmacists to do that without the need to go back for the prescription.
