HSE v pharmacists: cry halt to this headlong march over the precipice

MUCH has been said and written about the dispute between the HSE and the pharmacists and not all has been useful or illuminating.

I flatter myself that, as a practising pharmacist for nearly 30 years and someone who has had the honour to serve as minister of state with responsibility for mental health, I might be able to point out some indisputable facts that all parties concerned would do well to remember.

Some consideration of the realities might slow down the headlong march over the precipice.
