I propose to take Questions Nos. 329 to 331, inclusive, together.
My Department has completed a tender process for a review of the HSE reimbursement and pricing decision-making process and is currently appointing a consultancy firm to complete this review.
The review is expected to be completed within three months of commencement.
Although not included in the terms of reference, consideration will be given to consultation with relevant stakeholders. Consideration will also be given, in due course, to publication of a final report.
