The National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics (NCPE) has 20.5 whole-time equivalent staff.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible, providing the requested information on the number of staff in the Corporate Pharmaceutical Unit (CPU), the National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), and the Medicines Management Programme (MMP).
