I met the Irish Pharmacy Union on 8 October to discuss the development of pharmacy services in the future. I have also undertaken to engage with the Union as appropriate regarding the impact of the Regulations under the Financial Emergency in the Public Interest Act 2009. This is part of the review process as required under Section 13 of the Act which requires a review of the impact of the Regulations before 30 June 2010 and every year thereafter.
