Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 October 2025

Debate

Human Medicines (Authorisation by Pharmacists and Supervision by Pharmacy Technicians) Order 2025

Contribution

Notwithstanding all those issues, I was very interested to learn that the original pharmacy legislation goes back to 1933, when pharmacists themselves made the medicines with a mortar and pestle. That must have meant a great investment of effort. Things have changed and been replaced by pharmaceutical companies. That is all to the good.
