Under the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, the HSE has statutory responsibility for the administration of the primary care schemes, including the Drugs Payment Scheme; therefore the matter has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

If he has not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
