Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Shaun Flanagan:
I am not sure whether we can answer the specific question but in terms of clinical trials, where a clinical trial is being administered in a HSE setting, HSE staff would be administering a clinical trial drug, when it has had ethical approval and all that type of stuff in hospitals.
However, when a medicine is not reimbursed, we would not have data on that. If it is not reimbursed, it is not reimbursed.
