Seán Kyne
Question:489. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Health if further consideration has been given to extending the remit of registered nurse prescribers, RNPs, employed in acute or specialist hospitals, mental health services, private hospitals, private nursing homes and general practice to issue prescriptions in view of the efficiencies that would accrue from such a measure by freeing up other medical staff and in reflecting the situation in private nursing home facilities, in which RNPs are permitted to prescribe for private residents but not for General Medical Services, GMS, residents.
