My question is for the Minister for Health and concerns the free HRT scheme and the situation for women with cancer who cannot take oestrogen. While the free HRT scheme is certainly welcome, there is a vacuum for women surviving cancer. I asked about this previously on Questions on Policy or Legislation and the reply by the former Minister, Paschal Donohoe, was quite promising. I have also asked the Department of Health about it via parliamentary questions. Veoza is very expensive, with many women unable to afford it. During the cost-of-living crisis, it really is unsustainable and completely unfair on women who have won the fight of their lives in fighting cancer. Will the Minister give real consideration to including this drug under the free HRT scheme for cancer survivors who cannot take oestrogen?

All I can say is we are in the process of looking at that. I do not want to say something that is wrong. I need to double-check, and I will correct what I say if necessary, but we are very much in the process of examining the safety, application and reimbursement process for the drug. That is the direction of it. I do not have my note to hand and if I am wrong on this, I will correct the record. However, that is certainly the intent.
