Does Mr. Hennessy have any indication of whether it in the HSE's plans, budgets or is any movement going to be made in this regard, or will those nine drugs simply sit waiting? When Mr. Hennessy talks about effectiveness, outcomes and such, all of those hurdles have been cleared and now we find ourselves with nine drugs sitting somewhere in some sort of funding-related limbo which they may never get out of; Mr. Hennessy certainly does not seem very hopeful, unless I am misreading it.
