Réada Cronin (Kildare North, Sinn Fein)

I raise the case of Rebecca from Kildare. Twelve years ago following treatment for cervical cancer, Rebecca experienced early medical menopause. Women with cancer in remission are unable to use traditional hormone replacement therapy, HRT, but thankfully, a new drug for cancer survivors by the name of Veozah has been developed. This drug would be a game-changer for young women like Rebecca. However, it is not available under the new HRT scheme and it costs €75 per month. This is a cost that, unfortunately, Rebecca and other women cannot afford. Will due consideration be given to adding Veozah to the HRT scheme to make it accessible to all cancer survivors who need it, not only those who can afford it?
