Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

I cannot talk specifically about the price. It is not that I do not want to, but the company has made it clear to us, in all of our engagements, that we are not authorised to release the price. I can talk about what the budget impact would be to provide access to the patients who qualify over five years. The budget impact would be in excess of €3 million. That is the type of money we are talking about.
