182. Deputy Duncan Smith asked the Minister for Health if he is aware that Ireland has not yet implemented international guidelines recommended by a medical organisation (details supplied) when it comes to treating heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction; when he intends to instruct the HSE to adopt the organisation’s guidelines which would mean that patients can use an ARNI as a first-line therapy, reducing mortality and hospitalisations by 20%, and reducing on average the number of appointments they have to attend by four, thus helping to reduce cardiology waiting lists significantly; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
