PQ 1352
1352. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Health the rationale for excluding evorel 100mcg patches from the new hormone replacement therapy (HRT) scheme, given its widespread use as a substitute for estradot, which has been in long-term short supply; the measures being taken to ensure continuity of HRT care for those impacted by the supply shortages of estradot, including the potential inclusion of alternatives such as evorel in the scheme; and if her Department or the HSE is reviewing the classification or coverage of unlicensed but clinically necessary HRT alternatives to ensure equitable access to treatment for all women.
