The Single Market has evolved in different sectors at different paces and to varying degrees. In health, governments have always retained the idea of national competency, especially in the area of medicine approvals. We spend €3 billion annually on medicines in Ireland. By definition, I can understand why governments would want to have some oversight of such a large expenditure as that.
