Tagrisso is a drug that has been put up for reimbursement and much pressure has been put on in that regard. The recommendation was made through the various channels in July of this year that this be reimbursed. I know of a patient - a very ill person - waiting for this drug. Has anything happened since that recommendation was made in July by the body recommending that it be reimbursed? Where is it right now? Has it been left there for the last six months without the HSE looking at it or without the Government making any direction on it?

I understand the approval of the drug is under active consideration by the HSE but I will ask the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, to come back to the Deputy with a more detailed answer.
