As the HSE has statutory responsibility for decisions on pricing and reimbursement of medicinal products under the community drug schemes, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy on this issue. If you have 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.
