Patrick O'Donovan

Question:

742. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Health if he or the HSE considered the reimbursement of test strips and machines for the self-testing for patients who require long-term oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31877/22]

Written answers

Minister for Health

As the Health Service Executive (HSE) has statutory responsibility for decisions on pricing and reimbursement of medicines and medical items, in accordance with the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, I have asked the HSE to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
