John McGuinness

Ceist:

445. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Health the reason the drug Fampyra is not being prescribed for a person (details supplied); if the matter will be sorted as soon as possible as having to pay for the drug each week is causing family hardship and distress; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the particular issue raised relates to an individual case, I have arranged for the question to be referred to the HSE for direct reply to you. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days, please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
