Public Accounts Committee
Vote Management and Budgetary Situation in 2012: Discussion with Department of Health and HSE
5:50 pm
Mr. Tony O'Brien:
The issue of generic pricing forms part of the reference pricing legislation, the draft of which is currently before the Houses. As I understand it, under Part 4, section 21 of the Health Act 2004 it would not be appropriate for me to comment on a policy position currently being debated by the Houses of the Oireachtas.
