124. To ask the Minister for Health if he will provide details of the review of the agreement with the pharmaceutical companies concluded in late 2012; his expectations for further savings in view of the continuing serious price differences across EU member states; when the review will conclude; if its report will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
