For those of us who understand the pharmacy issue, some arrangements are in place, which are the bedrock and foundation of the cost of medication in Ireland. People should get a handle on that. Dispensing costs are a different issue. The two positions being put forward are contrary. The IPU's position does not equate to the position being put forward by the Department of Health and Children and the HSE. Equally, the position being put in regard to pharmacists going on strike and the HSE providing a contingency service cannot be sustained. I ask the Leader to arrange a briefing for us on this matter without further delay.
