PROPOSED DE-REGULATION OF PHARMACIES

Early day motion 596, tabled 28 January 2003 by Iris Robinson (DUP). Signed by 91 members.

That this House believes the deregulation of pharmacies, proposed in the 17th January Office of Fair Trading report, could adversely affect the service to the public; notes that established community pharmacies could be forced to close, with rural populations suffering; and that commercial considerations should not determine the location of pharmacies.
