Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

Did the Minister, in the course of any of these contacts, discuss the issue of prescription charges with pharmacy representatives? Such charges are now proposed for medical card holders. Has there been any contact between the HSE and the IPU on the practicalities of operating these additional charges? When is it intended they will be introduced? Will the Minister please note again that I strongly oppose these charges, full stop?
