Billy Kelleher

Ceist:

1002. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health the reason there continues to be geographical inequity of access to medication for severe allergic asthma, with asthma sufferers in the Health Service Executive Cork and Kerry region particularly disadvantaged; if he will create a national funding mechanism for this treatment, as has been done for a number of cancer treatments; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In relation to the particular query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service issue, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond directly to the Deputy in this matter.
