Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health (Deputy Kathleen Lynch)

Under the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, the HSE has statutory responsibility for the administration of the primary care schemes, including the Long Term Illness Scheme; therefore, the matter has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to you.

If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working, days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
