Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

I established the pharmacy review group in November 2001 to examine the pharmacy issues raised in the OECD report on regulatory reform in Ireland. I am continuing to examine the complex legal and public health issues in the group's recommendations. The report is available on my Department's website, www.doh.ie, along with reports prepared for the group by Indecon International economic consultants.
