Ms Michele Tait:

It goes into the basket. The primary care reimbursement service, PCRS, is responsible for reimbursing the cost of the drug the hospital purchases to treat the patient and for negotiating the collection of rebates from each of the suppliers based on the commercial terms we that have been agreed. The commercial terms with each supplier are in confidence but we expect the average cost of treatment in 2018 to be below €15,000 per patient.
