Topical Issues: Medicinal Products (15 Nov 2016)

Gino Kenny: I thank the Minister of State for taking the question. The Minister for Health, Deputy Simon Harris, recently met the parents of Ava Barry and called for a review of cannabis-based medicines. Sativex is a cannabis-based product which was approved in 2014 but is still not available to multiple sclerosis sufferers. I understand the Minister's hands are tied, up to a point, by the existing...

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (16 Nov 2016)

Gino Kenny: It looks as if I am jumping the queue as the Labour Party Deputies are not here.

Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2016: Second Stage (16 Nov 2016)

Gino Kenny: Yes. Private health insurance is part of Ireland's two-tier health system. Health insurance is a way for people to jump the public queue for health care, particularly elective surgery and investigations like scopes and scans. This distorts our health service by prioritising health care on the basis of wealth and not medical need. As this means the most needy get more sick as they wait, it...
