The Irish College of General Practitioners, with which Pearse Finegan is working, has produced a measure and provided one for every GP in the country to start a conversation with someone who is their patient which sometimes can be very difficult to do. They see him or her on a regular basis and it is difficult to start the conversation. However, this drug would simply be one of the tools in the box. I will endeavour to find out for the Senator when it is hoped to have a decision on whether the drug should be made available and how it would be paid for.
