I do not have a date for the Deputy on the legislation.

As I stated the last time Orkambi was raised in the context of setting out some sort of certainty for the health system, the discussions centre around Orkambi, Kalydeco and any other new drug that comes on stream. My understanding from the Minister for Health is that it is hoped to conclude the discussions in a matter of weeks. I know I said that the last time the matter was raised but that is my information. This issue is of serious concern to those who have cystic fibrosis and their parents. It is hoped the discussions will be concluded in an overall sense in a couple of weeks. I will revert to the Deputy on the legislation.
