Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Medicines Strategy: Discussion

Dr. Ciara Conlan:

We do not have that much clarity on whether the savings from 2016 have happened. I certainly have not seen evidence that those savings have happened, in the way of a budget analysis of how much they were and where they are being used now. I refer to a recent article for The Irish Timesby Dominic Coyle where he mentioned that there was no clarity on that.
