Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: My apologies to the Chairman but this is almost the biggest bill the taxpayer has to pay. The IPHA is a federation for some of the suppliers. It comes in and talks to the HSE. Would the HSE not be better off talking to all the companies on a one-to-one basis because it would strike a better deal?

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: I have two final questions on this topic. I notice that the witnesses keep referring to negotiating a "framework". They use that phrase when they are talking about the negotiations. Who negotiates the price? Is it the medicines board? Who actually decides that the price for a given product or tablet is a certain amount?

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: I have a final short question. When we were talking about the debt of private health insurance companies, it was suggested that quite a bit of the figure of €290 million could be attributed to the failure of consultants to sign off.

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: Does that not alert the HSE to a problem? That they will not sign the forms to get their fees - one would think this means they have income due to them - suggests to me that they think they should not be signing those forms. How can the HSE include what it is due from the hospitals as income if consultants are willing to forego the fees that the HSE believes are due to them as part of the...
