Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Caroline Garvan:

We are bound by European legislation. We cannot allow these products not to be prescription-only. The European legislation requires them to be a prescription medicine. There is no choice on this. Every other member state is the same.
