Questions (679)

Seán Canney

Question:

679. Deputy Seán Canney asked the Minister for Health if the anti-sickness drug akynzeo can be made available on the GMS as it is the only effective anti-sickness medication for many cancer patients, including those with a brain tumour; if she is aware that the cost of buying this medical monthly is placing financial strain on families already dealing with illness; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Under the Health (Pricing and Supply of Medical Goods) Act 2013, the HSE has statutory responsibility for decisions on the pricing and reimbursement of medicines and medical devices; therefore, the matter has been referred to the HSE for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.
