The Minister of Health recently announced that an agreement had been reached with the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) in relation to the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) arrangement.

Pharmacies have until the 1st June to sign up and, with the IPU's full support, it is anticipated that the vast majority of pharmacies will sign up.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) is developing a “pharmacy finder” which will allow women to find the nearest participating pharmacy to them.
