Mary Henry: Under the section, the linguistic competence of nationals of other states is mentioned. Who will decide whether they are competent because there is no question of an examination being undertaken?
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: Linguistic competence is an increasing problem in our health service. For example, the linguistic ability of many nurses is not quite what it should be. I was asked by a nursing home, which had a problem recruiting staff from the Philippines, if I could try to point out to the recruits that they would be dealing with people with Alzheimer's. However, Poles who spoke no English had grave...

Mary Henry: I raised this issue on Second Stage. I refer to subsection (1)(k) on physical characteristics. A pharmacist must make arrangements in order that he or she can talk to patients in private, if necessary. This could be very onerous on those who run small pharmacies. I hope there will not be retrospective retribution against those who do not have a special section in which to people in...

Mary Henry: It should be reported to the society in the case of a pharmacist. The requirement under the law as amended will be that those who are aware of such financial arrangements will have a duty to report them. It is important that this will not be simply voluntary; one will have a duty to do so in order that it can be investigated. Doctors and pharmacists must work more closely together and the...

Mary Henry: The Minister's suggestions regarding education of the medical profession, patients and pharmacists must be followed in this instance. There is no standard dictating that one definitely prescribes penicillin in one instance and a different antibiotic in another. Pharmacists cannot state that a medical practitioner is doing something appalling by taking a particular course of action, or...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 5: In page 11, subsection (2)(a)(iv), line 8, after "education" to insert "and training". I assume that the word "training" has been left out of this section of the Bill. The phrase "education and training" is used in several places in the Bill. I have looked for examples in the Bill of either the word "education" or the word "training" being left out, and tabled...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 7: In page 11, subsection (2)(b), after line 45, to insert the following: "(x) confer honorary fellowships.". I am quite keen on this proposal. I once thought the Minister and I might get ourselves lined up for honorary fellowships some day.

Mary Henry: The Minister is quite right in the way she uses her honorary doctorates. Some people include them in their references to their qualifications. There was a time when doctors of philosophy, for example, did not use the title of "Doctor" other than when they were working in academia or something like that. There are doctors and professors in many spheres. I would not like people to start...
