Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion
Mr. Shaun Flanagan:
We are expecting that it will get to the HSE drugs group in the fourth quarter of this year, so within the next three months. This would suggest a decision on reimbursement would be made late this year or early next year. I cannot indicate whether the decision will be "Yes" or "No" because I cannot get ahead of the decision-making process of the HSE, particularly given that I am a member of the drugs group.
