Maureen O'Sullivan

Question:

402. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Health if there is a contract in place for chemists who are involved in the dispensing of methadone; if the Irish College of General Practitioners still accredits level 2 training for methadone prescribing; if doctors can work in more than one location; and if there is a restriction on the number of patients seen by level 1 and level 2 doctors.

Written answers

Minister for Health

As these are service matters, they have been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

If the Deputy has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days he should contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
