The HSE officials need to look at this research. Research is becoming available all the time.

I thank each and every person who has picked up the telephone and put pen to paper to tell us of their personal experience, to tell us about their pain and their need to continue the only effective treatment available to them.

I acknowledge also the important role that our national broadcaster RTÉ, through "Liveline" and Joe Duffy, has played in ensuring that the voices of those suffering the most are heard. I found it very offensive when the Minister asked if we expected health policy to be based on people ringing up a radio show. That was deeply offensive to those who are suffering as a result of the decision to withdraw Versatis.
