Sir, - Further to the letter from Anne Cahill, (June 7th), I wish topoint out that not only has Mr Brian Cowen arranged for individuals to pay an increase of 31.25 per cent a month for medication, but it will be on a restricted list of items.
He is also rushing to implement this change before the necessary information technology has been installed in community pharmacies which would facilitate patients. This will result in increased paperwork for pharmacists but also increased frustration and possible delays for patients. Why the rush? - Yours, etc.,
