Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 May 2026
1208. Deputy Pádraig O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Health if she will provide a breakdown by county of the number of pharmacies currently participating in the Common Conditions Service; if she will specifically outline the uptake rate in County Cork; the steps that are being taken to maximise participation among pharmacies that have not yet joined the service; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35176/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe issues of the numbers of pharmacies participating in the Common Conditions Service (CCS) in each county, and the uptake rate in Co. Cork, are operational matters. For this reason, we have referred them to the HSE for direct reply .
On the issue of maximising participation in the CCS; of the 1,912 community pharmacies in Ireland, a total of 1,810 pharmacies have signed up to provide the Common Conditions Service. I welcome the fact that such a high percentage (94.6 %) of community pharmacies are providing this service.
