Written answers

Minister for Health

As the Health Service Executive (HSE) has statutory responsibility for the pricing and reimbursement of medicines, 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.
