268. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health if she considers a restriction of over-the-counter low-dosage codeine-containing products to a prescription-only model to run contrary to the principles of the new pharmacy agreement and common conditions scheme; if she considers that new eprescribing and other pharmacy IT systems combined with the rollout of patient identifiers could serve as a control for access to codeine-containing products without the need to include GPs in low-to-moderate pain management beyond the role which they already serve; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
