Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Anne Marie Seymour:

As regards current examples, under European legislation it is a prescription or not a prescription. Not a prescription is your over-the-counter, Panadol-type product. Then there is supply by a pharmacist. When you get your flu vaccination, your pharmacist does not have a prescription, so that is supply. There are emergency situations. In the emergency context you can go into your pharmacy and the pharmacist can give you medication without a prescription. It is that kind of thing.
