I support the views expressed by Deputy Martin. I personally know people whose lives are on hold, waiting month by month to have this drug approved for them. They are in a shocking situation. I appeal on behalf of those people. It is not a huge number but are their lives not as important as the lives of everyone else? If it was thousands of people or only 20 or 30, are they not as important as everyone else?
