The OECD recommended the restriction on pharmacists educated in other EU countries managing or supervising a pharmacy that is less than three years old be eliminated. I agree with OECD on this, but Ireland has availed of a derogation under the relevant European directive on the free movement of pharmacists which permits the restriction. A review group appointed by the Minister for Health and Children in October 2001 has completed its work in regard to retail pharmacy and the Minister is currently examining the report. I look forward to seeing remaining quantitative restrictions lifted.
