'Very few pharmacists' will sign up for free HRT scheme 'because €5 dispensing fee is too little'
The Irish Pharmacy Union has asked for a €6.50 fee to be provided to make the scheme viable for pharmacists.
One pharmacist said the €5 dispensing fee that the Government has proposed is "the same fee that was introduced 17 years ago".
Another pharmacist said that if she were to sign up for the scheme, "I would have to let my staff go, and I can't do that".
She said she does not know a single pharmacist that has signed up to the scheme "because they know they can't".

'Children were not protected': Report criticises use of unlicensed springs in spinal surgeries at Temple Street
The Hiqa review found that governance changes within Children’s Health Ireland meant that a number of policies and safety checks "were not properly applied".
It found the use of the springs was an attempt to replicate an experimental surgical technique that was still under investigation at a hospital abroad, but in a modified way.
Children's Health Ireland said it is "deeply sorry" to the children and young people who "did not get the care they deserved".
