548. To ask the Minister for Health if HIQA has approved the use of the new Covid-19 antiviral pill (details supplied) which has been given emergency use authorisation by the European Medicines Agency; if the HSE plans to roll-out the use of this drug; the cost of this drug; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I wish to advise the Deputy that HIQA have no role in the approval of medicines, this would be a matter for the HPRA (Health Products Regulatory Authority).
