Very often they throw away instructions on medicines because they have not read them properly. I would like us to have statements in this Chamber on the HSE's strategy, in conjunction with those of the Departments of Education and Skills and the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, to help those who may not be good at reading or writing and do not have the confidence to deal with these issues.
