The HSE has put in place interim arrangements (to end 2012) to support the use of Eculizumab for a number of patients for whom it may in time be shown to provide a clinical benefit.

This arrangement will be managed under the clinical supervision of the Department of Haematology at St James's Hospital, Dublin. Any patient who may be a candidate for this treatment should be referred to St James's Hospital for assessment.

The Deputy's enquiry regarding a named patient has been forwarded to the HSE for direct reply.
