Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical goods) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (9 May 2013)

Denis Naughten: I support these amendments. Amendment No. 6 makes much sense and the Minister agrees in principle with the thrust of it, as he made clear in his response. The issue he has is one of timing. The amendment makes sense not only for the reasons given by my two colleagues, as well as the fact that it would ensure consistency from prescriber to pharmacist, but also because it would follow...

Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical goods) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (9 May 2013)

Denis Naughten: I move amendment No. 10:In page 21, between lines 18 and 19, to insert the following:“12.--(1) The prescriber shall detail the purpose of each medicine on the patient's prescription. (2) The pharmacist shall include the purpose of each medicine on the label when dispensing the medicine.”.This amendment arises from the discussions on Committee Stage. On foot of those...

Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical goods) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (9 May 2013)

Denis Naughten: The Minister of State has made the argument for me. As he notes, a particular drug can be used for a number of purposes. For the pharmacist to explain to the patient, he or she needs to know what the drug is for in the first place. He or she must ring the GP to find out. What we are talking about is the GP stating, possibly in generic form, what the medicine is for, but, at least, the...

Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical goods) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (9 May 2013)

Denis Naughten: The Minister of State is right. That is where one has consistency, which is the point I am making. With generic substitution, one does not have consistency from the patient's perspective. The Minister of State is not listening to me.

Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical goods) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (9 May 2013)

Denis Naughten: The Minister of State is wrong to disagree with me. For example, medicine A, manufactured by White Pharmaceuticals, is used to treat a heart condition. After this legislation goes through, the decision will be taken by the Irish Medicines Board that the same medicine manufactured by Naughten Pharmaceuticals is 50% cheaper. The elderly person who has been taking the medicine manufactured by...

Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical goods) Bill 2012 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (9 May 2013)

Denis Naughten: I will make my point briefly. If all of a person's medicines are replaced - sadly, it is not just three, as many people have many more - ten days down the road, he or she will not know what each of them is for. He or she knows there is an anti-coagulant, a medicine to treat a heart condition and another to treat a cholesterol problem, but he or she will not know which is which. That is the...
