Written Answers. - Non-Prescription Medicines.

101.

asked the Minister for Health the action he proposes to take to ensure that non-prescription medicines are not presented to the public with exaggerated claims by the manufacturers and promoters.

As I informed the Deputy on Wednesday, 26 November, 1975, in my reply to a similar question from him, the National Drugs Advisory Board are pursuing their consideration of the manner of advertising non-prescription medicines with a view to furnishing its recommendations to the Minister for Health. I understand that the board's discussions with the interests involved are continuing. The board will, in due course, report to me on the outcome.
