Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

I cannot remember a year of my career when the HSE was under spend on drugs. There is clearly a funding challenge for every country around the globe. Many countries are trying to get into multilateral type arrangements, whether BeNeLuxA or Valletta, such that Ireland is not the only country struggling in that regard. I would not argue that we are slower than other countries. In my view, the challenge is around the availability of sufficient resources and trying to match the resources we have with the demand.
