Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Shaun Flanagan:
I think it is important that we all understand the difference between cost effective and cost saving. Cost effective means that, in the course of normal events, it is a reasonable additional investment to make. It does not mean that there is a net saving to the HSE.
