The HSE recently received an application for Kalydeco's inclusion under the Community Drugs Scheme. In accordance with normal procedures, the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics is conducting a Health Technology Assessment on this product which will consider if the drug is cost-effective at the price offered to the HSE. No reimbursement decision will be made until the assessment has been completed.
