The Health Service Executive (HSE) has statutory responsibility for decisions on pricing and reimbursement under the community drug schemes, in accordance with the provisions of the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013. I, as the Minister for Health, have no role in these decisions.

The HSE have advised that Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, or any other blood products, are not covered under the community drug schemes.
