No. It is important to have a career structure in the hospital pharmacy sector. I understand that there are three levels. One must have three years of experience to go from the basic level to the next level and five years to go from the basic level of the supervisory level. I do not propose changing that good career structure. Instead of 70 graduates, there will be 160. This year, many pharmacists will qualify in Ireland and be available to the hospital sector and the pharmacy sector in general.
