Written Answers. - General Medical Services Scheme.

Dan Neville

Question:

126 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Health and Children if the drug librium has been removed from the list of drugs covered by the medical services card; if so, the reason in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20932/99]

Librium was deleted from the general medical services scheme and the community drugs schemes at the instigation of the company which markets the product. My Department is examining ways in which to ensure the continued availability to patients of this or similar products as a matter of urgency.
