Question:146 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the proposed cutbacks to the schools medical examinations services and in particular the phasing out of the sixth class eye and ear testing, together with the alarming reduction in the psychological services in primary schools in County Louth, all of which will result in disaster for our children; if he agrees that the long term effect on the health of our people will suffer in medical and financial terms; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
