View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 288 to 290, inclusive, together.
I have not received a funding proposal or a recommendation from the HSE in relation to the FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring system. I understand that the review process in relation to this product is not yet completed by the HSE.
