I have asked the Health Service Executive and the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) to reply directly to the Deputy on the issues raised. I have been informed by the HPRA that due to the voluminous nature of your request for data in relation to adverse drugs reactions, it may take longer than the standard ten days for a reply to be issued to your office. I will have officials within my Department liaise with the HPRA to mitigate any further delays.
