Escalating public health costs, fiscal stress and the unsustainability of the previous growth in expenditure has led to the increased use of pharmaceutical cost containment measures in Ireland. Collectively, these measures are estimated to have reduced public expenditure on community drugs by 380m in 2011 and involve addressing; 1) the ex-factory price of drugs including price cuts of up to 40% on off-patent and generic drugs leading to an estimated 200m saving (53%); 2) pharmacy dispensing fees and mark-ups via a new dispensing fee structure and reducing both retail and wholesale mark-ups with a 100m saving (26%); and 3) scheme coverage and patient co-payments including restricting scheme coverage for persons over 70 years and increasing the level of co-payments with savings of 80m (21%).

Authors: Kennedy, Kieran M Abstract: A number of factors are known to influence the progression of sexual crimes through the criminal justice system. The role of victim injury in influencing decision-making at pivotal stages has been addressed by a number of separate research projects. This article consolidates existing research evidence in order to highlight the important role that victim injury plays at each step of the legal process. The importance of accurate diagnosis and recording of victim injury is highlighted. Furthermore, by describing the significant impact that the presence of victim injury can have on the legal outcome, the importance of ensuring that cases without victim injury are correctly interpreted by the police, legal professionals, judiciary and the jury is heavily emphasised.
