Vol. 511 No. 1
122 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children if he proposes to develop the role of the national vaccines contracts committee. [23817/99]
123 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the membership of the national vaccine contracts committee. [23818/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 122 and 123 together.
The national vaccine contracts committee is chaired by the director of public health, Eastern Health Board and comprises the senior buyer, central purchasing office, Eastern Health Board, my Department's deputy chief medical officer, chief pharmacist, and an assistant principal officer, community health division.
I have no plans to change the role of the committee.
