Two weeks ago, I raised with the Tánaiste the issue of Spinraza, a life-changing drug on which 25 families are waiting for a response. He committed to get back to me but has not done so. More important, the 25 families still have no information as to when a decision will be taken. Even though proposals were submitted to the Health Service Executive, HSE, in July, with a much lower price being quoted, there is still no information available for these families and their children. Will the Tánaiste give an indication of when they can expect information?

As the Deputy knows, a process and an evaluation must conclude before a decision can be finalised on that. I will ask the Minister for Health to come back to him on timescales.
