Pharma Industry Stands Over Claim 500 Jobs Lost
The Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA), the main lobby group for drug companies, insists it “stands over” its claim that 500 jobs were lost in the sector in Ireland because of Government policies aimed at reducing the State’s medicines bill.
The Department of Enterprise says there is “no evidence” for the claim, which was made by the IPHA in a letter to the Government obtained by RTÉ’s This Week programme.
