View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 733 to 735, inclusive, together.
My Department has engaged in a tender process for a review of the HSE reimbursement and pricing decision-making process. As this process is underway, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further on this matter. I expect the tender process to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2019.
