Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

To be clear again, Deputy Brassil and I are both pharmacists and we both know that the legal position is that generics were substitutable. They were set out in legislation as being substitutable. The HPRA was given the power to designate them as interchangeable. That power is not available to us and Deputy Brassil and I both know that.
