The Minister may have dealt with this query already, but some pharmacists believe the Government's move to reduce the price means that there will be a shortage of supplies. I do not know whether that will be the case.

My other point is that in Greece and one or two other countries when they ran short of money they were not able to buy the right medications because the big pharmaceutical companies decided to do something different - to sell to somebody who could pay the higher price.

What is the Government doing to address the issue of illegible prescriptions written by doctors?
