Questions (281)

John Lahart

Question:

281. Deputy John Lahart asked the Minister for Health if there are plans to update the reimbursement criteria for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction to align with European cardiology guidelines (details supplied); if he is aware that this update could potentially save 2,000 to 4,000 outpatient appointments annually, cut outpatient appointment costs and ultimately reduce mortality and hospitalisation risks for patients;; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
