Bad chemistry
Just imagine the HSE, you know the ones who don’t know how to change a light bulb, the ones who refused to provide the HPV vaccine for young girls to help save their lives... now they want to run the pharmacies.
If this happens we might as well take the “p” out of pharmacy and call it “harm-acy” or just “Harney’s Harm-acy”. The Government’s only experience of managing large-scale pill distribution was when Joe Jacobs, demonstrating a lack of knowledge of nuclear safety, mailed out some iodine pills which had passed their use-by date. If you can imagine the HSE being in charge of the pharmacies and being successful at it, then you must be on strong drugs yourself. The pharmacies are working. Why change them?
