Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Medicines Strategy: Discussion
Dr. Ciara Conlan:
We need to show a good example for the benefit of our colleagues in Europe and shine a light on what is happening in Ireland and at EU level. Other Government health committees have compiled reports and made policy commitments in this area. I think we can make commitments at a domestic level. We are very keen that Ireland, at an EU level, would support the Italian resolution on transparency at the World Health Organization. We can also take domestic measures to build transparency around how pharmaceutical prices are reached.
