As the Deputy knows, the drug has been approved for reimbursement. I am not sure what the cause of the delay has been in ensuring that these children get the medicine they need. I am told a meeting about the matter is to be held on 24 November. I will check into it with the Minister for Health and the Department of Health and get the Deputy a more detailed reply in the next couple of days.
