Vol. 501 No. 3
73 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Health and Children the consideration, if any, given by him to funding a study into psycho-social behavioural medicine having considered the results of the St. Michael's Project II undertaken by the Ardagh Clinic in 1998. [4768/99]
226 Mr. Shatter asked the Minister for Health and Children the consideration, if any, given by him to funding a study into psycho-social behavioural medicine in view of the results of the St. Michael's project II undertaken by the Ardagh Clinic in 1998. [5823/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 73 and 226 together.
My Department has no information on the study referred to by the Deputies. The clinic in question is a private clinic, specialising in alternative medicine. As such, it does not come under the remit of my Department and I have no plans to fund the study.
