Ceisteanna (555)

Olivia Mitchell

Ceist:

637 Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the reason it is taking more than 12 months to reimburse patients for surgical appliances under the drugs payment scheme; the reason it is necessary for patients to pay the pharmacist and reclaim the money rather than have this scheme on-line with the rest of the drugs payment scheme; the reason that refunds under the scheme cannot be dealt with in a more efficient manner; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
