Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 March 2004
367 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Health and Children the main conclusions of the Pharmacy Review Group; the reason for the delay in publishing the report; and the action he intends to take to implement the recommendations of the report. [8565/04]
View answerI established the Pharmacy Review Group in November 2001 to examine the pharmacy issues raised in the OECD report on regulatory reform in Ireland. The group submitted its report on 31 January 2003. I have been examining the complex legal and other issues surrounding the group's recommendations. The Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the report's recommendations before completion of this examination. I have made the report available on my Department's website, www.doh.ie, along with reports prepared for the group by Indecon International Economic Consultants.
