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

2:00 am

Ms Niamh Muldoon:

Can I just make one comment? The Health Products Regulatory Authority, HPRA, initially issued a report recommending that these products would require a veterinary prescription in December 2019, which is a significant period of time. Ultimately, it is important for animal and human health and for everyone's benefit that this increased regulation takes place.
