Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Treatment of Rare Diseases: Discussion
2:00 am
Manus Boyle (Fine Gael)
As my fellow members of this committee said earlier, it should not be down to politicians to come in here to push for a drug for a child. I believe that the system is wrong. We should have a system whereby if a doctor recommends a person gets a drug that politicians are taken out of the equation. I know no more about givinostat than the professor would know about fishing or anything like that so the current position is totally wrong.
