While I welcome the review, I am concerned that it will take only three months to complete because it is a signficant body of work. I am anxious that consultants, clinicians, patients and the industry all be consulted to ensure an effective process.

I am also concerned about the terms of reference. If the review concerns only the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, an Act which has flaws, one could come to the conclusion that the Act is being properly implemented. That may well be the case, but given that the Act needs to be reconsidered, the terms of reference should also be reconsidered and expanded.
