I have raised the Mazars report, which was tasked with reviewing the drugs payment scheme for the reimbursement of prescription medications in this country.

I have previously asked the Minister for Health and the Tánaiste, and today I ask the Taoiseach, for a commitment from the Government that this report will be published. The report was instigated in late 2017 or early 2018. It has been sitting on the Minister's desk since January 2020. It has cost the State approximately €86,000 to publish and, more than anything else, patients need to see that report and what improvements it advocates. I ask the Taoiseach to give a commitment that the Minister will publish it as quickly as possible.

I appreciate the Deputy's interest in this issue. I will talk to the Minister and ask him to ensure a timeline is provided for the publication of this report. It should be published.
