National Drugs Management Scheme:

The National Drugs Management Scheme (NDMS) is a web-based, centralised reimbursement system for a defined list of drugs. These drugs are approved by the HSE Senior Leadership Team. The primary goal is to ensure equitable access for all patients to specified drugs, regardless of their geographical location and to support hospitals in meeting the financial burden of providing these drugs to patients.
