Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael)

I was aware of the briefing and was sorry I was not able to attend yesterday on an otherwise busy day. As the Deputy is aware, the process for processing, authorising and reimbursing drugs is managed by the HSE, which considers all of the different factors involved, including the European position and the effectiveness and broader reach of a drug at a given time. I will examine the case raised by the Deputy. I know the circumstances he has mentioned and perhaps we can speak about the matter again more directly.
