Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

Deputy Troy and I have discussed this case several times. He got a detailed response from me about the process recently. Further to that, I contacted the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics last night and again this morning.
I am happy to tell the House that there is good progress in the process on this medicine. There are further steps to go. I emphasised to its representatives the case in question and that there is a sick child. It is aware of the urgency of the situation. As I know the Deputy will appreciate, we now have to let the apparatus of the State engage in commercial discussions with the pharmaceutical company.
