Ceisteanna (896)

Colm Burke

Ceist:

896. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Minister for Health to clarify claims in the 5 January 2026 HSE memo that low-dose codeine combination products are no more effective than paracetamol or ibuprofen alone; to identify the evidence base for this; to confirm current policy on managing chronic pain; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
