Martin Browne (SF), Tipperary

I want to raise the untenable situation of community pharmacists as they remain subject to the cuts imposed due to the financial crisis. They are the only sector in healthcare who remain in this position. Given the acknowledgement of the great service provided by them during the pandemic and generally in light of lengthy GP waiting lists I have asked the Minister to fully and openly engage with the sector, which is now demanding that pay be restored in line with the public sector pay arrangement and to leave nothing unaddressed.
