Patient Safety: Statements
5:00 pm
Fidelma Healy Eames (Fine Gael)
All of the pharmacies are pulling out of the community services contract. I am informed the HSE in these local areas have been told to order in medications. Where will they be stored and who will dispense them safely? Where are the labels and computers required for labelling? What is required is a controlled professional environment. Who is familiar with patients' allergies? What will happen to those patients allergic to aspirin or penicillin?
