Vol. 513 No. 6
289 Mr. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason the drug temodal is not being made available to those on medical cards; and if the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kilkenny will be examined and his request to obtain this drug on his medical card expedited. [3122/00]
The Deputy will be pleased to learn that temodal tablets have been added to the list of medicinal products to be dispensed under the high tech medicines scheme with effect from 1 March.
In the meantime, I understand that the South Eastern Health Board is considering this case with a view to reimbursing the costs incurred by the person concerned for his treatment.
