Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Dr. Derick Mitchell:

I would not be privy to that information. The NCPE carried out an analysis of the assessment process recently, which is quite transparent to everybody here. In respect of the reasons and steps along the process where there was a stop clock or a gap, that has only recently been done through a manual process in the NCPE. We do not have an equivalent on the reimbursement side in Ireland. As far as I am aware, they do not have that kind of breakdown in Scotland. This is something we would like to see more of in terms of the reasons that the clock stops.
