I can understand Senator Norris's frustration at a response that appears to defer the responsibility of Government to initiate and support the proposal. I reiterate this suggests the PSI plan will require the full support of the HSE and community pharmacies. It is not a matter of leaving the issue out and depending on the process to happen.

From the briefings I have had with the senior Minister, I can say it is her intention to meet those involved and be proactive in this area. I hope that will happen within a matter of days.
