That was a comprehensive answer.

I have questions for the IPU. There has been much talk about the RP. When people train to become pharmacists in college, how much is orientated towards veterinary issues? The IPU is best placed to answer that question. Is there a substantial element of veterinary issues in training to be a pharmacist? The union mentioned the HPRA task force recommended an impact assessment. Has it had communication with the Department about whether that has been done? If so, where is it now?
