Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Evaluating Orphan Drugs: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Lesley Tilson:

We have a standardised format with regard to the dossiers that are submitted. The format is on our website so people can follow very formalised processes and criteria for submission. Notwithstanding this, there is a lit of variability within the dossiers themselves and what is submitted. We have regular communications with IPHA, the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association, the industry representative group, on all of that to try to ensure it is a standardised process as much as possible.
