The Health Service Executive has confirmed that Fampridine (brand name Fampyra®) is being reimbursed under the Long Term Illness Scheme from 1st October 2015.

Reimbursement will be extended where a demonstration of clinical response (based on objective criteria agreed with clinical experts) is recorded and where that clinical response is shown to persist, based on objective measurement at six-month intervals.
