Having just paid over €33 for a month’s supply of Diovan tablets (the second time), when I should get them for free, I find myself wondering why these necessary pills have been lacking for so long. Although a pensioner, I still pay monthly taxes but this payment puts a big burden on my financial resources.

Can we pensioners and others who need these vital pills be given a date when they will be available through the Pharmacy Of Your Choice scheme? Can someone in authority demand that these pills are always available?

I hope for some kind of reassurance from the health authorities.
