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.

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...
