John McGuinness (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

A number of medical card holders have complained to me and have expressed concern about medicines, which they will be taking for life, being unavailable in their chemist. I understand there is an issue around that. I ask the Taoiseach to clarify that for me. There is evidence that some medicines dealing with HRT right up through to asthma are being shared on social media or people are trying to source them on social media. I also ask the Taoiseach to clarify the funding for high-tech drugs. Where people are on these drugs, will the funding for these drugs continue to be provided?
