Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will inform the Minister, Deputy Harris, that Deputy Aylward has raised the matter. We are having a long, hard and deep look at medicines for rare diseases and orphan drugs. While it may not always be the right thing to reimburse a medicine, I do not think any of us like a situation where a medicine is available and reimbursed in another European country, particularly if it is the one next door, and not in Ireland. It is something we are going to make a move on, I suspect, in the next weeks or months.
