Ken O'Flynn

Written answers

The Department has not conducted an assessment on whether the frequency of salbutamol dispensing has indicated gaps in preventative asthma or COPD management in primary care. However, given the clinical and operational nature of the issue raised, I have referred the question to the HSE for any related input.
