Ceisteanna (1078)

Conor D McGuinness

Ceist:

1078. Deputy Conor D. McGuinness asked the Minister for Health the steps her Department is taking to ensure that the price of mounjaro is consistent across all outlets, does not vary widely depending on the outlet which the patient seeks it from, and that the cost of this medicine is not a barrier to those patients for whom it is a necessity; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [11772/26]

In terms of medicines pricing in the private market the Minister has no powers over the commercial decision-making of how individual pharmacies price medicines to private customers. Pharmacies operate as commercial entities in a competitive pharmacy market.
