Health | HSE approved drug treatments for Cystic Fibrosis

To ask the Minister for Health the drugs that are currently available and approved by the HSE for the treatment of cystic fibrosis and other similar conditions, the medication which is awaiting approval in this country or in the European Union; when is it expected that those drugs still waiting for approval are likely to become available to patients likely to require the treatment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

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