Hi All,
Back in May the HSE authorised this drug for use for advanced Parkinsons Patients. A relative is finding it impossible to get access to it.
Her Consultant is trying her best, but it seems to be caught up in red tape. The drug is in Ireland, the HSE have said they will pay for it,
she has had a home visit from the ABBIE Care Nurses in Clonmel, but it seems to be in limbo.
Anybody hear anything about this. Any help would be appreciated. This is possibly her last option…..
Thanks in advance.
