PQ 771
771. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health whether she can confirm that no analysis is undertaken to establish whether equivalent procedures funded under the treatment abroad scheme could be sourced at lower cost in an alternative eligible jurisdiction prior to approval; whether she considers the absence of any cost-comparison mechanism across jurisdictions to represent a gap in value-for-money oversight of public funds; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
