Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I ask the Deputy not to trivialise this important issue. We want to get it resolved. There is an absolute willingness on the part of the Government to do that. However, when we are talking about facilitating drugs for rare conditions, as we have been done this year, if we ignore price as part of the discussion, we could pay money that could go into other drugs.
