I thank the Minister of State for going through this in such detail. I hope the Irish Epilepsy Association representatives are listening to the committee's deliberations because they should have good grounds for having their confidence enhanced. The Minister of State has gone to a great deal of trouble to tie everything down and to ensure everybody gets the appropriate medicine. He was correct to emphasise the need for us to push for generic medicines because the money being wasted in the State drug payments, which could be easily be used more effectively for other health services, is scandalous and we have to stick to this. I presume if there are problems for epilepsy sufferers in this area following the passage of the legislation, they will be examined. However, it seems to me that the Minister of State has covered everything.
