Ceisteanna (722)

Seán Crowe

Ceist:

722. Deputy Seán Crowe asked the Minister for Health when the HSE guidelines to pharmacists discouraging the sale of multiple months' worth of medication to patients to prevent stockpiling will be rescinded; if his attention has been drawn to the lack of ability to buy 3 or 6 months means that patients are liable to more handling charges by pharmacists which creates a financial burden; and his views on whether this unfairly impacts those patients that are not holders of medical cards. [17094/20]

Under the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, the HSE has statutory responsibility for the administration of the community drug schemes; therefore, the matter has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
