asked the Minister for Health if and when he proposes to establish a facility in County Limerick for children suffering from the Prader-Willi Syndrome.
Written Answers - Prader-Willi Syndrome.

I have received no request from the Mid-Western Health Board for the provision of a facility in County Limerick for children with Prader-Willi Syndrome. The condition is rare and, therefore, would not justify the provision of a special facility. The special needs of people with a mental handicap are currently being considered by a departmental review group on mental handicap which is drawing up guidelines on the future development of the service.
