Mr. Tom Murray:

Decriminalisation, for us, is decriminalisation of the individual and the user, not decriminalisation of the product. We would have a very clear line on that. It is the individual who presents for the care and is a patient in need of services. The product is still illegal. International evidence suggests that is the best approach to take in terms of reduce of harm, societal damage and, indeed, damage to the individual user, that the services are patient-centred and it is patient-led care, which is our aspiration for all the services that we provide in pharmacies. It is patient-centred, patient-driven care. That is in line with Sláintecare. It is the clinical care as per clinical need so we would not be in favour of decriminalising any product. We are in favour of decriminalising the individual user.
