There is small group of people whose lives and quality of life depend on action being taken. The advocacy group Cystic Fibrosis Ireland has spent more than three years asking for a consultant who will prescribe kaftrio for post-transplant CF sufferers but what I have got back are vague phrases like "being approved shortly" and "will be recruited". There is no urgency shown towards the people of the Republic the Department of Health is there to serve. That is its job. It is obscene that the Department is not serving the people and thinks the reply it has provided to a Member of the Oireachtas is appropriate. It is an absolute disgrace of an answer.
