Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is a matter of which the Minister is well aware. Yesterday, he responded on the matter to Deputy McEntee and for the information of the House. Arising from the Topical Issue that was raised, I would like to think the discussions that were under way between the HSE and the drugs company in question might be able to go a little further. I would like to think the people Deputy Martin mentioned and others who are caught in this particular problem could be facilitated. Unfortunately, there are so many other areas of equal priority in people's lives for access to drugs of proportionate cost who look for the same facility. I have no intention of attempting to say one person can have access to a drug and another person cannot.
