Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Paul Corkery:
I will reply to the question about antimicrobials and whether I believe that an RP can meet the criteria. Deputy Carthy was in Brussels when the regulation was made. It specifically states that only a veterinarian can prescribe antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products and it has to be on foot of a diagnosis.
