The new Health and Social Care Minister has pledged to revisit the decision on whether or not to fund Translana.
Kate Beecroft was appointed to the position on Monday - she says she's 'delighted' as it's the job she's wanted for a long time.
The Douglas South MHK says she will now reinvestigate the recommendation made by the Clinical Recommendations Committee not to fund the drug for a seven-year-old boy.
Finley Hesketh suffers from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - it's believed Translana could help keep him walking for longer.
Mrs Beecroft says she's happy to take a fresh look at the situation:
