Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion

Mr. Jim Breslin:

They are the two wholesalers. United Drug and Uniphar are our biggest wholesalers. This does not mean they import all of the drugs. They are part of the supply chain for those drugs and those drugs could be delivered to their warehouses by the manufacturers. It is not that the two companies do all of the logistics. They do the wholesaling, particularly out to community pharmacies.
