A White Paper issued in December 1996 (Primary Care: Delivering the future), stated that 'the current arrangements for the prescribing, supply and administration of medicines would be subject to review'. In mid-February, the Minister of Health, Gerald Malone, gave details of the team, chaired by Dr June Crown, to carry out this review over the next 12 months. The objectives will be to determine the circumstances in which health professionals may undertake new roles in the prescribing, administration and supply of medicines and the legal and training implications of these changes.
