Vol. 529 No. 1

Written Answers. - Diabetes Services.

Denis Naughten

Question:

688 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Health and Children the plans he has to provide additional funding to the Western Health Board for diabetes services in view of a recent report which highlighted serious shortcomings in the current service for diabetic patients; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1998/01]

I presume the Deputy is referring to a recent report in the Irish Journal of Medical Science which called for improvements in facilities for diabetes care in the country. The implementation of this report in the Western Health Board area is a matter for the board to consider in the context of available funding and other competing demands.
