Viagra express' influx fears for Ulster Belfast Telegraph, September 18 1998 By Peter McVerry THOUSANDS of men from the Republic could invade Northern Ireland in search of cheap supplies of Viagra. And politicians in Dublin have expressed fears that a different policy on NHS availability in the two jurisdictions could add to the number crossing the border to stock up on Viagra. The Department of Health in Northern Ireland has confirmed that the anti-impotence drug can be obtained privately from local GPs who cross-refer patients not on their NHS lists. Members of the Dail committee on public accounts yesterday said they feared a possible 100% cross- border price difference and different NHS availability could mean many southern men visiting Northern Ireland for supplies. Commitee chairman Jim Mitchell yesterday sought clarification on the reported price difference, claiming that the tablet would go on sale at œ9 in the Republic, but less than half that in Northern Ireland. "Remember we had the contraceptive expresses to Belfast. We might have Viagra expresses to Belfast if there was not some sort of co-ordination."Department of Health officials in Dublin expect about 18,000 men to seek supplies of the drug. That figure is based on estimates that 10% of the 180,000 impotency sufferers will opt to try Viagra. Plans to make Viagra available free to medical card holders south of the border are being considered by Health Minister Brian Cowen. Health officials yesterday told the public accounts commitee the cost would be "not less than IR œ7m and perhaps up to IR œ20m." c Copyright Belfast Telegraph Newspapers Ltd. yahoo.co.uk
