The HSE has approved the reimbursement of Skyclarys for patients living with Friedreich’s Ataxia. 

It’s thought a number of people in Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal suffer with disease which causes nerve damage, muscle weakness and mobility loss.

Discussions between the HSE and Biogen have been ongoing which has resulted in a substantially improved financial offer and enabled the HSE to approve reimbursement. 

Sligo Leitrim Junior Minister Marian Harkin says it’s a relief to those who are impacted locally and right across the country:
