Pharmacy Services
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-21
============================================================

Aindrias Moynihan (FF), Cork North-West

Pharmacists have considerable knowledge and expertise. As the Minister has mentioned, this extends well beyond the pharmacological side of things, for example, into lifestyle. One would expect the wellness hub concept to expand into the area of lifestyle. Will further non-pharmacological campaigns be made available with regard to vaping, mental health, positive ageing, fitness and many other areas?
It is also vital that there be prior engagement with pharmacists to identify the kind of campaigns to be run and to prepare for their roll-out. Will the Minister outline the level of engagement with pharmacies, the IPU and the various different organisations in the preparation, identification and roll-out of campaigns to ensure they are successful and have a meaningful impact in communities?
