Mr. Michael Meere:

Yes, 100%. I have a word on that topic and then I will let everything move on. I get pain injections. They cost €350 per injection. I was getting them privately because I could not get them on my medical card. I spent a full year fighting with a HSE management person to allow me to get my injections on the medical card. I am getting my first next month, after three years and many trips to the pain specialist to pay €350 per injection. I can verbalise what I have to say and I can write emails but many of my friends cannot do that. Many of their families and carers cannot do that. I am blessed in that I can do that but it should not have to be done. It is a basic, fundamental right under various conventions.
